Experimental exposure of juvenile snails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) to infection by trematode larvae (Microphallus sp.): infectivity, fecundity compensation and growth

Host-parasite interactions that result in host castration are evolutionarily similar to predator-prey interactions because both interactions terminate reproduction for the host or prey. Yet, interactions in that infected hosts remain alive and potentially can make adjustments to their life-history s...
