Hybridization between two cestode species and its consequences for intermediate host range
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Many parasites show an extraordinary degree of host specificity, even though a narrow range of host species reduces the likelihood of successful transmission. In this study, we evaluate the genetic basis of host specificity and trans...
