Torrent frogs have fewer macroparasites but higher rates of chytrid infection in landscapes with smaller forest cover

Abstract Deforestation can compromise ecological processes and biotic interactions, including the host–parasite relationship. While some parasites infect only one host, others require multiple hosts to complete their complex life cycles. In this context, different parasites may have different demand...
