Relating parasite communities to host environmental conditions using phylogenetic tools

Abstract: Summary:There are many tools available for analysing parasite communities, either based on the proportions or presence/absence of species. These analyses rely on phyl ogeneti c distances, and analyses of actual characters (e.g. species). The phyl ogeneti c analysis (Wagner parsimony) was compared to a cluster analysis (UPGMA) and correspondence analyses of two real hel mi nth communi ti es in sheep (one farm and with repeated sampling along ti me) or goats (several farms, each sampl ed once). The cladograms ob… Show more

“…Taxonomic and phylogenetic studies are essential to achieve a better understanding of the ecology, epidemiology and evolution processes of parasitic nematodes (Jacquiet et al , 1995; Poulin, 1998; Grenfell et al , 2002; Cabaret, 2003; Mejía-Madrid et al , 2007). The development of specific molecular tools is useful for recognizing species and studying processes such as transmission and evolution of host specificity.…”

“…Although related species usually share some species of parasites, the degree of similarities in parasite composition is not predictable. In some assemblages of host species, ‘phylogenetic’ factors can have a strong influence on parasitic similarities (Bush et al 1990; Cabaret, 2003), particularly when a determined taxonomical group of parasites is considered (Hoberg et al 1999; Hoberg, 2002; Huyse and Volckaert, 2005); in other cases, ecological factors may also have a substantial impact on parasite populations (Rohde, 1993) and communities (Muñoz et al 2007). However, phylogenetic and ecological factors together influence the structure and composition of parasite communities, and neither of them is more important than the other.…”

“…The Hennig86 software [11,12] has previously been used for describing communities [13] in order to trace their putative historical construction. Briefly, the original community is taken to be devoid of species (ancestral situation = outgroup) and gradually over time, it incorporates new species.…”
