Two different strategies of host manipulation allow parasites to persist in intermediate–definitive host systems

Trophically transmitted parasites start their development in an intermediate host, before they finish the development in their definitive host when the definitive host preys on the intermediate host. In intermediate–definitive host systems, two strategies of host manipulation have been evolved: incr...
