• More rapid and severe disease outbreaks for aquaculture at the tropics: implications for food security (2013, background): “…of parasite or pathogen species infecting each host species tends to be higher at the lower latitudes (Rohde & Heap 1998; Guernier, Hochberg & Guegan 2004; Nunn et al. 2005), as well as reaching higher infection intensity (Calvete 2003; Benejam et al. 2009) and prevalence (Merino et al. 2008).”
• Is There a Latitudinal Gradient in the Importance of Biotic Interactions (2009, background): “In Chile, the prevalence of blood parasites in birds increases toward lower latitudes (Merino et al. 2008), and the number of shorebirds infected with malaria declines with latitude in Europe and Africa (Mendes et al. 2005).”
