The paper shows that coinfection with two pathogens reduces host survival but limits the spread of the more virulent pathogen, suggesting potential population-level benefits.

This study experimentally quantifies the virulence and transmission dynamics of Spirobacillus cienkowskii, revealing it as highly virulent and requiring host death for horizontal transmission, with potential vertical transmission via Daphnia egg cases.

This paper investigates the impact of Ordospora pajunii on Daphnia hosts, finding low virulence and context-dependent effects, and identifies it as a valuable model for studying mutualism-parasitism shifts.

The paper shows that higher epidemic drivers lead to lower host resistance, increasing parasite prevalence and reducing host density through mathematical, experimental, and field analyses.

The paper shows that virulent parasites can increase host density by reducing infected hosts' foraging rates, leading to a hydra effect in ecosystems.

The paper examines how host competence, competition, and pathogen transmission mode influence disease prevalence in a focal host using a two-host model.

The paper examines how light exposure affects the infectivity of Pasteuria ramosa endospores, finding that UV-B, UV-A, and visible light reduce infectivity but not parasitic castration of Daphnia hosts.
