Much of the research in disease ecology and evolution has traditionally focused on a one host - one parasite framework. And yet, in natural systems, hosts are usually co-infected by multiple parasites, and many parasites can infect several host species.
Our research aims to investigate this realistic, multiple host - multiple parasite context.
