Scaling effects of temperature on parasitism from individuals to host-parasite systems

D. Kirk, M. I. O'Connor, E. A. Mordecai

The paper examines how temperature affects parasitism at individual and population levels in different host-parasite systems and finds thermal optima are correlated in vector-borne systems but not in environmentally-transmitted ones.
