When trophically‐transmitted parasites combine predation enhancement with predation suppression to optimize their transmission

Abstract: Trophically‐transmitted parasites are known for their ability to enhance predation of their intermediate host but they are less known for their ability to suppress predation. We review recent literature on host manipulation explaining why and when in its life cycle a parasite benefits from preventing the predation of its host. Predation suppression occurs in intermediate hosts as long as the parasite larva has not reached the developmental conditions allowing it to successfully establish in the next host (comp… Show more

“…Whether or not an individual experiences autoimmune or allergic diseases in a hygienic environment is likely to depend on factors that include host genotype, the severity of infection (e.g. how many parasites an individual is infected with), interactions between the host microbiome and helminth parasites, interactions between multiple helminth species infecting the same host, and whether or not infection happens early or late in life (Maizels & Nussey, 2013;Maizels, McSorley, & Smyth, 2014;McKay, 2009;Zaiss et al, 2015). These complexities make studying the importance of evolved dependence of host behaviour on parasites a potentially daunting task, but unravelling this complexity will yield a more ecologically relevant understanding of host behaviour.…”

“…This might be achieved by increasing the vulnerability of intermediate hosts to predation by final hosts, decreasing their vulnerability to predation by non hosts, or both [15]. In the third case, the manipulation shows a high degree of specificity through the combination of predation enhancement and predation suppression [16]. Under the assumption of a highly specific manipulation, it is expected that manipulated intermediate hosts behave differently depending on whether the predator is a definitive host or a non host.…”
