          Abstract

          São discutidos aspectos relacionados ao padrão comumente observado de distribuição agregada de parasitas na população-hospedeira. Geralmente observa-se que a maioria dos hospedeiros alberga poucos parasitas, enquanto que poucos hospedeiros albergam a maior proporção dos parasitas. Assim sendo, são analisados fatores que podem influenciar o padrão de distribuição dos parasitas, a relação entre o nível de agregação dos parasitas e a prevalência de infecção, além da variação nesse nível de agregação em função da idade do hospedeiro. Também são considerados fatores que determinam a diversidade de espécies em comunidades de parasitas, os diferentes tipos de competição entre os parasitas e sua relação com o controle biológico. Finalmente são discutidos processos biológicos considerados como de estabilização e de instabilidade sobre o comportamento dinâmico de interações hospedeiro-parasita.

          Some aspects of the widely observed over-dispersed pattern of the distribution of parasites within the host population are examined. It has been established in the parasitological literature that most hosts usually harbour few parasites, while only few hosts harbour a large proportion of the parasite population. Factors that may influence the pattern of distribution of parasites, the relation between the level of parasite aggregation and the prevalence of infection, and changes in this level of aggregation as a function of host age are analysed. Factors which determine the diversity of species in parasite communities are presented, and aspects of exploitative and interference competition among parasites and their relations with biological control procedures are also considered. Attention is also focused on the regulatory and destabilizing processes influencing the dynamic behaviour of host-parasite population interactions.
