Immune response to sympatric and allopatric parasites in a snail-trematode interaction by Osnas Erik E, Lively Curtis M

“…</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We found that infection was greater in sympatric host-parasite combinations. We also found that the host-defense response (hemocyte concentration) was induced by parasite exposure, but the response did not increase with increased parasite dose nor did it depend on parasite source, host source, or host-parasite combination.…”
