Abstract
In host-parasite relationships, intervention in host reproduction and development by the parasite is frequently observed. This intervention is beneficial for the parasite (in terms of energy and nutrient availability), but not for the host. Parasites have developed various strategies to ‘regulate’ their host for their own benefit (for reviews, see: Baudoin, 1975; Beckage, 1985).
