Empirical evidence that metabolic theory describes the temperature dependency of within-host parasite dynamics.

The complexity of host-parasite interactions makes it difficult to predict how host-parasite systems will respond to climate change. In particular, host and parasite traits such as survival and virulence may have distinct temperature dependencies that must be integrated into models of disease dynami...
