Host lifestyle and parasite interspecific facilitation mediate co-infection in a species-poor host-parasite system

N. Kmentova, A. J. Cruz-Laufer, L. Milec, T. Moons, S. Heeren, E. van den Hoorn, K. J. M. Thys, L. Makasa, A. Chocha Manda, P. Masilya Mulungula, M. Van Steenberge, M. Jorissen, M. P. M. Vanhove

The paper studies co-infection dynamics in a simple host-parasite system, finding that parasite distribution and infection patterns depend on host mobility, lifestyle changes, and interspecific parasite interactions.
