Host-Parasite Interactions in the time of Global Change
Global change in the Anthropocene has modified the environment of almost any species on earth, be it through climate change, habitat modifications, pollution, or human intervention in the form of mass drug administration (MDA) or vaccination. This can have far reaching consequences on all organisational levels of life, including ecophyisological stress at cell and organism level, individual fitness and behavior, population viability and extinction and species interactions and biodiversity. Host–parasite interactions often require highly adapted strategies by the parasite to survive and reproduce within the host environment and ensure efficient transmission among hosts. Yet our understanding of the system level outcomes of the intricate interplay of within host survival and among host parasite spread is in its infancy. This special issue on “Host-Parasite Interactions in the time of Global Change” brings together a contemporary collection of expert opinions, empirical evidence and novel approaches to shed light on how global change effects host-parasite interactions at different organisational levels with the aim to work toward better informed management of parasite control.
