摘要
The role of parasites in shaping host ecology and behavior is increasingly being recognized over the past three decades. However, we are yet far from understanding all possible consequences of parasite-induced and parasite-selected host behaviour. In this review we attempt to classify parasite-selected and parasite-induced behaviours into eco-epidemiological and evolutionary adaptations. We also speculate on many as yet unexplored possibilities of parasite selected behaviour.
