The paper examines how parasite transmission strategies affect their distribution across islands and mainland, finding that richness varies with transmission mode and distance from the mainland.

The paper examines how parasite life cycle complexity influences sharing between migratory and resident silvereye hosts, finding that migratory birds host more parasite species, especially those with simple life cycles.

This study uses transcriptomics to compare parasite and host gene expression in Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, identifying host-specific transcripts and novel proteins involved in disease mechanisms.
