1. Although parasites represent a substantial part of marine communities’ biomass and diversity, their influence on ecosystem functioning, especially via the modification of host behaviour, remains la
Inflammasome activation is a two-step process where step one, priming, prepares the inflammasome for its subsequent activation, by step two. Classically step one can be induced by LPS priming followed
Theory on the evolution of niche width argues that resource heterogeneity selects for niche breadth. For parasites, this theory predicts that parasite populations will evolve, or maintain, broader h
Bars (size-adjusted mean ± SE) show the specific growth rate of focal individuals with different infection status (unexposed, exposed but unparasitized, exposed and parasitized; parasite: Diplostomum
