Abstract
Abstract Host and parasite dispersal are among the most important factors affecting the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions. Early epidemiological models have recognized the role of spatial processes in host-parasite interactions, and recent theoretical approaches have shown that host and parasite dispersal are key factors for the evolution of parasite virulence and host local adaptation. Conversely, from an empirical point of view, very little is known on the reciprocal role of parasite and host dispersal on the ecology and evolution of the association. Most knowledge on the role of dispersal in host-parasite interactions involves systems where there is a strong spatial subdivision of host and parasite populations.
