Biostatistics for Parasitologists – A Primer to Quantitative Parasitology

The aggregated distributions of host–parasite systems require several different infection parameters to characterize them. We advise readers how to choose infection indices with clear and distinct biological interpretations, and recommend statistical tests to compare them across samples. A user-frie...
