Routine habitat switching alters the likelihood and persistence of infection with a pathogenic parasite

2018-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Animals switch habitats on a regular basis, and when habitats vary in suitability for parasitism, routine habitat switching alters the frequency of parasite exposure and may affect post‐infection parasite proliferation. However, the effects of routine habitat switching on infection dynamics are not well understood. We performed infection experiments, behavioural observations and field surveillance to evaluate how...
