This is mainly because of the wide geographical coexistence of both parasite species but also because of increasing drug resistance, recent observations of severe and lethal P. vivax cases and relapsing parasite behaviour.

There remains a strong interest in exploring the environmental context of such shifts, including fluctuations in temperature, salinity, pressure [75], [146] [152], and biological factors such as population size, generation time, body size, larval dispersal, mutation rate and parasite behaviour [74], [153] [160].

Environmental factors such as variation in ambient temperature can increase or decrease host condition and therefore susceptibility, as well as parasite behaviour and virulence, leading to a critical influence on the outcome of host-parasite interactions, even over relatively small temperature ranges [ 12].

In M. myotis, our data provide no evidence for such anti-parasite behaviour.
