Parasitic Manipulations of the Host Phenotype: Effects in Internal and External Environments
- BiologyBiology Bulletin Reviews
- 2019
The review gives insight into the most common types of manipulative strategies and discusses (i) the evolutionary advantages of these strategies, (ii) why some strategies are more common than others, and (iii) how manipulative strategies change in the course of parasite growth and development.
Host Manipulation by Parasites: Cases, Patterns, and Remaining Doubts
- BiologyFront. Ecol. Evol.

This work highlights some of the most pertinent questions that arise if the authors aim at a broader understanding of the ecological relevance and evolutionary trajectory of manipulating parasites.
Cooperation or Conflict: Host Manipulation in Multiple Infections
- Biology
- 2015
Experimental studies of both cooperation and conflict among parasites, especially studies investigating the interaction between different parasite species using the same host are urgently needed.
Conflicts over host manipulation between different parasites and pathogens: Investigating the ecological and medical consequences
- BiologyBioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology
- 2016
This review summarizes the evidence on how parasites can alter other parasite's host manipulation and speculate on how a conflict over host manipulation could alter these consequences and potentially offer a new avenue of research to ameliorate harmful consequences of host manipulation.
Experimental evolution of parasitic host manipulation
- BiologyProceedings of the Royal Society B
- 2019
Host manipulation responded to selection, confirming that this trait is heritable in the parasite and hence can present an extended phenotype.

It is argued that this is a more difficult task than understanding the evolution of textbook examples of novelty such as the eyes of vertebrates or the hooves of horses, and new tools such as phylogenomics provide an important opportunity to make significant progress in understanding the extended phenotypes of parasites.
When parasites disagree: Evidence for parasite-induced sabotage of host manipulation
- BiologyEvolution; international journal of organic evolution
- 2015
Testing the effect of multiple infections on host manipulation using laboratory‐bred copepods experimentally infected with the trophically transmitted tapeworm Schistocephalus solidus presents conclusive experimental evidence for both cooperation in and sabotage of host manipulation and hence a proof of principal that one parasite can alter and even neutralize manipulation by another.

This evolutionary analysis indicates that ecological and life history variables may have played an important role in the evolution of manipulation of host behaviour by parasites.

Conditional opposition to the influence of parasites would be a better alternative to resistance to infection itself if resistance is costly, and would explain the considerable variability often observed in the behavioural responses of parasitiaed hosts.
Cooperation and conflict in host–manipulating parasites

An optimality model of the extent of host manipulation is developed, incorporating within-host group size, relatedness and a range of realistic cost–benefit functions, and can be used to predict density–dependent behavioural changes in expanding groups of parasites, as seen in quorum-sensing bacteria.

This work focuses on recent advances in the study of behavioral manipulation via modulation of the host central nervous system, and describes how a worm may influence the nervous system of its cricket host and manipulate the cricket into committing suicide by jumping into water.

The results indicate that the modifications induced by P. laevis are specific to the definitive host and do not increase the risk of predation by inappropriate hosts, here the adult edible frog Rana esculenta.

The relationship between the magnitude of published quantitative estimates of parasite–induced changes in host behaviour and year of publication from the time the adaptive host manipulation hypothesis was first proposed is examined.

The ratio between the benefits and costs of host manipulation for transmission success of Acanthocephalus lucii, a parasite that alters the hiding behaviour and pigmentation of its isopod hosts, is examined to suggest that, despite the costs due to non-host predation, host manipulation may still be advantageous for the parasite.
