Temperature stress and parasitism of endothermic hosts under climate change

Highlights • Physiological effects of climate change on parasitism in endotherms are poorly known. • Heat and cold stress can influence parasite biology in endothermic hosts. • These changes are caused by temperature effects on host endocrine and immune systems. • Potential implications exist for pa...

Summary:Highlights • Physiological effects of climate change on parasitism in endotherms are poorly known. • Heat and cold stress can influence parasite biology in endothermic hosts. • These changes are caused by temperature effects on host endocrine and immune systems. • Potential implications exist for parasite epidemiology under extreme climatic events.
