| influence of massive and long distance migration on parasite epidemiology: lessons from the great wildebeest migration. | very little is known about the influence of massive and long distance migration on parasite epidemiology. migration can simultaneously minimize exposure to common parasites in their habitats and increase exposure to novel pathogens from new environments and habitats encountered during migration, while physiological stress during long distance movement can lead to immune suppression, which makes migrants vulnerable to parasites. in this paper, we investigated the diversity, prevalence, parasite l ... | 2016 | 27554373 |
