Complex interactions within the ectoparasite community of the eastern rock sengi (Elephantulus myurus)
Concomitant infection with more than one parasite species is the rule in nature. Since co-infecting parasites are exploiting the same host, interspecific interactions at the infracommunity level are likely. The nature of such interactions can be expected to affect the distribution of parasites withi...
