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): “It has been hypothesized that this may be due to an increase in the abundance and diversity of vectors and/or climatic effects on vector behavior and parasite development at low latitudes (e.g., Guernier et al. 2004, Merino et al. 2008, Nunn et al. 2005).”
Host traits and parasite species richness in even and odd-toed hoofed mammals, Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla (2006, unknown): “Unlike recent comparative studies of parasite species richness in wild primates (Nunn et al. 2003, 2004, 2005), our results showed an overall weak or non-existent phylogenetic signal for parasite richness in hoofed mammals, which may explain the very different out- comes for phylogenetic and…”
