It is reported that native taxa in colonized regions may swiftly evolve to exploit such emancipated exotic species because of selection caused by invaders, and a native biota that initially permits invasion may rapidly respond in ways that ultimately facilitate control.
Bird-parasite interactions: ecology, evolution and behaviour.
The aim of this book is to provide a history of host-parasite interactions in birds of prey and provide a perspective on the role of parasites in the natural history of these interactions.

Lyme disease in California: interrelationship of Ixodes pacificus (Acari: Ixodidae), the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis), and Borrelia burgdorferi.
Findings suggest that S. occidentalis, although an important host of I. pacificus immatures, may be less important as a source for infecting ticks with B. burgdorferi, and the relationship of immature western black-legged ticks to the western fence lizard is investigated.

The results are consistent with the hypothesis that C. pseudotuberculosis may be vectored to horses by flies, and can be identified in up to 20% of house flies in the vicinity of diseased horses.
