Host-parasite interaction explains variation in the prevalence of avian haemosporidians at the community level.
Parasites are a selective force that shape host community structure and dynamics, but host communities can also influence parasitism. Understanding the dual nature from host-parasite interactions can be facilitated by quantifying the variation in parasite prevalence among host species and then compa...
