Understanding how parasites respond to evolved changes in host characteristics may also provide a good model for their all too apparent potential to respond to other kinds of change, such as the use of new drugs or vaccines to combat disease. This paper again highlights how it is imperative that evolutionary theories must now be supported by empirical evidence gained from studying the molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms underlying changes in host lifehistory traits, ideally using organisms that have evolved together and that are in their natural environment.
