Aggression and hormones are associated with heterogeneity in parasitism and parasite dynamics in the brown mouse lemur by Zohdy, S, Bisanzio, D, Tecot, S, Wright, P, Jernvall, J

“…Animal behaviours, like aggression, can directly affect host health by influencing exposure to parasites. Aggressive individuals may experience an increase in agonistic interactions and contact rates with conspecifics, which might increase their probability of acquiring parasites. …”

Microbial protection favours parasite tolerance and alters host-parasite coevolutionary dynamics by Rafaluk-Mohr, C, Gerth, M, Sealey, J, Ekroth, A, Aboobaker, A, Kloock, A, King, K

“…Coevolution between hosts and parasites is a major driver of rapid evolutionary change1 and diversification.2,3 However, direct antagonistic interactions between hosts and parasites could be disrupted4 when host microbiota form a line of defense, a phenomenon widespread across animal and plant species.5,6 By suppressing parasite infection, protective microbiota could reduce the need for host-based defenses and favor host support for microbiota colonization,6 raising the possibility that the microbiota can alter host-parasite coevolutionary patterns and processes.7 Here, using an experimental evolution approach, we co-passaged populations of nematode host (Caenorhabditis elegans) and parasites (Staphylococcus aureus) when hosts were colonized (or not) by protective bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis). …”

Brood parasite eggs enhance egg survivorship in a multiply parasitized host. by Gloag, R, Fiorini, V, Reboreda, J, Kacelnik, A

“…We show that where multiple parasitism occurs, rejection itself can be costly, by increasing the risk of host egg loss during subsequent parasite attacks. …”
