Summary

Parasites live and interact in multi-species communities. As these interactions are often hidden, the extent to which they occur, their relative strength and consequences are poorly understood. We review work on parasite interactions occurring in free-living African buffalo, which are distributed across the African continent and host a diversity of parasites, from bacteria and viruses to helminths. Three case studies of pairwise interactions between some of the most common and economically important parasites of buffalo shed new light on the effects of parasite interactions for individual hosts and population-level disease dynamics. Work on interactions between macro- and microparasites (common gastrointestinal worm infections and bovine tuberculosis, TB) suggests that immune responses underlie complex interactions. At individual host level, worms enhance TB infection severity, but at population level they can limit TB spread. Analysis of interactions between TB and Rift Valley Fever virus (RVFV) shows that TB presence makes increases RVFV effects. Work into how two dominant members of the worm community living in the buffalo gastrointestinal tract reassemble after perturbation reveals that the processes driving interactions between parasites can be dynamic over time. We use combined approaches to bridge the gap between individual and population scales and show how studies of natural populations can advance understanding of parasite interactions.
