Neural parasitology: how parasites manipulate host behaviour.
The ability of parasites to alter the behaviour of their hosts fascinates both scientists and non-scientists alike. One reason that this topic resonates with so many is that it touches on core philosophical issues such as the existence of free will. If the mind is merely a machine, then it can be controlled by any entity that understands the code and has access to the machinery. This special is...

15 صفحه اولEvolution and manipulation of vector host choice
5 The transmission of many animal and plant diseases relies on the behavior of arthropod vectors. In 6 particular, the choice to feed on either infected or uninfected hosts can dramatically affect the 7 epidemiology of vector‐borne diseases. I develop an epidemiological model to explore the impact 8 of host choice behavior on the dynamics of these diseases and to examine sel...
متن کاملThe evolution of virulence in vector-borne and directly transmitted parasites.
Ewald (1994) has suggested that vector-borne parasites are expected to evolve a higher level of host exploitation than directly transmitted parasites, and this should thereby result in them being more virulent. Indeed, some data do conform to this general pattern. Nevertheless, his hypothesis has generated some debate about the extent to which it is valid. I explore this issue quantitatively wi...
