With this review, we describe characteristics of the major groups known to parasitize spiders and illustrate the ways in which spider biology presents unique challenges and opportunities for their parasites. Particularly promising avenues of future research include testing how parasites alter their spider hosts’ behavior and ecology through density-dependent and trait-mediated effects. We close by…

The scientists published their study in March, as a letter submitted to the European Journal of Clinical Investigation. BNT162b2…
