Heat sensitivity of first host and cercariae may restrict parasite transmission in a warming sea

Abstract To predict global warming impacts on parasitism, we should describe the thermal tolerance of all players in host–parasite systems. Complex life-cycle parasites such as trematodes are of particular interest since they can drive complex ecological changes. This study evaluates the net respons...
