摘要

Among the factors that may influence parasitism are ecological and phylogenetic aspects (Krasnov et al.2005),where a host species may acquire a parasite by contact with other hosts co-occurring in a given environment or because of its ancestor (Hoberg and Brooks 2008).Thus,the parasite community can be considered a reflection of the ecological characteristics and the phylogeny of the host (Krasnov et al.2005).It is possible,in some situations,to observe a greater influence of the phylogenetic history of the host than others factors on parasite composition (Krasnov et al.2012).
