About this document

Macroparasite Abundance in Wildlife by jordi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This paper reviews the patterns of macroparasite abundance and aggregation in wildlife populations through quantitative analyses of mean burdens and aggregation measures. It finds that mean parasite burdens are log-normally distributed and that most infections are aggregated among hosts, with a strong relationship between log mean parasite burden and log variance. The study also explores biological explanations for these patterns and employs various statistical methods to analyze the data.
