Abstract
Plastic pollution is a global issue. Research on its effects on free-living organisms is growing, but the mechanisms by which micro- and nanoplastics interact with host–parasite systems and their ecological and evolutionary implications remain largely unknown. We propose a framework to better integrate parasites into the context of plastic pollution.
