This study evaluates an imperfect prophylactic treatment for chytridiomycosis in amphibians, finding that it unexpectedly increased infection intensity in treated ponds.

The paper evaluates the effectiveness of reducing intermediate copepod host populations to control Guinea worm disease, finding that while total populations recover, infectious adults are suppressed, indicating cryptic success.

The paper examines how two snail species affect schistosome transmission in a host-parasite system, finding that one acts as a competitor while the other exhibits intraguild predation, impacting parasite production differently.
