Parasite Transmission Theory
Parasite Transmission Theory explores how parasites spread between hosts, emphasizing the relationship between host behavior and environmental factors. It suggests that the success of a parasite often depends on its ability to effectively invade, reproduce, and survive within a host, as well as how it utilizes the host's movements or habits to spread to new hosts. This theory helps us understand disease outbreaks and control measures, highlighting the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the importance of host interactions in the lifecycle of parasites.
