Co-infections determine patterns of mortality in a population exposed to parasite infection (2015)
Journal Article
Woolhouse, M. E., Thumbi, S. M., Jennings, A., Chase-Topping, M., Callaby, R., Kiara, H., …Toye, P. G. (2015). Co-infections determine patterns of mortality in a population exposed to parasite infection. Science Advances, 1(2), Article e1400026. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1400026

© 2015 The Authors, some rights reserved. Many individual hosts are infected with multiple parasite species, and this may increase or decrease the pathogenicity of the infections. This phenomenon is termed heterologous reactivity and is potentially a... Read More about Co-infections determine patterns of mortality in a population exposed to parasite infection.
