Abstract
Little is known on how the interplay between host-related and environment-related factors affects parasitism in terrestrial mammals. We examined this interaction in the insectivorous bat Pipistrellus kuhlii, in the Negev desert, Israel. We chose host sex, age, and reproductive state as host-related factors, and water pollution as an environmental factor because of the importance of water in desert environments.
