    Heredity (Edinb) 99:632-40. 2007
    ..These results provide evidence of environment-dependent trade-offs between ectoparasite resistance and larval competitive ability, a potential mechanism maintaining genetic polymorphism for resistance...

    Int J Parasitol 39:1263-8. 2009
    ..We also investigated whether variation in nematode length between male and female hosts could account for this male-biased infectivity, but found no evidence to support that hypothesis...

    Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
    Parasitology 137:1003-12. 2010
    ..We concluded that intrinsic differences between hosts, specifically with regard to sex and breeding condition, contribute relatively more to the variation in worm fecundity than parasite co-infection status...
