Spatial and temporal parasite dynamics: microhabitat preferences and infection progression of two co-infecting gyrodactylids

Abstract Background Mathematical modelling of host-parasite systems has seen tremendous developments and broad applications in theoretical and applied ecology. The current study focuses on the infection dynamics of a gyrodactylid-fish system. Previous experimental studies have explored the infrapopu...
