Multiparasite communities in animals and humans: frequency, structure and pathogenic significance

摘要: Individual humans and animals are subject to infection by a variety of parasites (broadly defined include viruses, bacteria other non-protozoan microparasites) at any one time. Multiple parasite infections occur frequently in populations wild as well from developing countries. In some species regions, hosts with multiple more common than either no or single infection. Studies, predominantly on animals, show that wide environmental host-dependent factors can influence the structure dynamics communities make up these infections. addition, synergistic competitive interactions between species, which likelihood their successful transmission increase decrease overall pathogenic impact. This review summarises aspects our current knowledge frequency multiparasite infections, them, significance.
