Impact of Landscape on Host–Parasite Genetic Diversity and Distribution Using the <i>Puumala orthohantavirus</i>–Bank Vole System
In nature, host specificity has a strong impact on the parasite’s distribution, prevalence, and genetic diversity. The host’s population dynamics is expected to shape the distribution of host-specific parasites. In turn, the parasite’s genetic structure is predicted to mirror that of the host. Here,...
