Comparative Host Specificity is a theoretical construct in parasitology that characterizes the relative breadth or selectivity of host range across parasite taxa, distinguished by its use in evaluating evolutionary and ecological patterns of host-parasite associations through cross-species or cross-lineage comparison.
