Title: The impact of multiple infections on wild animal hosts: a review Document date: 2011_9_19
ID: rn4zitcs_42
Snippet: At species level and for multi-host pathogens (that can be transmitted between several different host species) the available studies have postulated and sometimes established that some host species could amplify the disease (their presence increases transmission rates between species), whereas others may limit transmission from one species to one other (99), for a review in a biodiversity perspective). This conceptual framework could be improved .....
Document: At species level and for multi-host pathogens (that can be transmitted between several different host species) the available studies have postulated and sometimes established that some host species could amplify the disease (their presence increases transmission rates between species), whereas others may limit transmission from one species to one other (99), for a review in a biodiversity perspective). This conceptual framework could be improved by including polyparasitism as a key host species characteristic prone to affect its infectiousness. In fact, considering the strong effects of multiple infections on life history traits, behaviour, genetic structure or body condition, we may expect strong trade-offs between immune defences and all these parameters.
