Latitudinal Variation in Trematode Prevalence Across Regions in North and South America: Evidence of an Inverse Gradient in Second‐Intermediate and Final Hosts

We tested whether the inverse latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) observed for trematode parasites in first‐intermediate snail hosts extends to second‐intermediate and definitive host taxa.
