Host Individual Variation

Host Individual Variation is a biological construct that denotes the differential susceptibility or exposure of individual hosts to parasitic infections within a population, distinguishing it from aggregate population-level trends by emphasizing inherent host-specific traits such as genetics, immunology, or behavior that drive heterogeneity in parasite burden.
