Abstract
This study investigates the prevalence and dynamics of infections among invertebrates within trophic hierarchies, exploring the interconnectedness of disease transmission and trophic interactions. Invertebrates play vital roles in ecosystems as both predators and prey, forming intricate food webs where pathogens can spread through predation, parasitism, and scavenging. Through field surveys and laboratory experiments, we examine the transmission pathways and consequences of infections among spineless creatures within trophic networks. Our findings highlight the complex interplay between host susceptibility, pathogen virulence, and trophic structure in shaping infection dynamics. Understanding these relationships is crucial for predicting disease outbreaks, managing ecosystem health, and conserving biodiversity within diverse ecosystems.
