This variation could arise because of species specific sexual and developmental differences in body condition, immunity, and resistance. Theory predicts that the prevalence of parasitism will be greater in individuals with poor body condition and the intensity of parasitism will be greater in individuals with larger body size. These predictions have been tested and verified in vertebrates. In insects, however, contradictory evidence has been found in different taxa. Here, we tested these predictions on two species of\n                    <jats:italic>Agriocnemis<\/jats:italic>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic>Agriocnemis femina<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Agriocnemis pygmaea<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) damselflies, which are parasitized by\n                    <jats:italic>Arrenurus<\/jats:italic>\n                    water mite ectoparasites. We measured body weight, total body length, abdomen area and thorax area of non-parasitized damselflies and found body condition varied between males and females, between immature females and mature females and between\n                    <jats:italic>A<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>femina<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>A<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>pygmaea<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Then, we calculated the parasite prevalence, i.e., the absence or presence of parasites and intensity, i.e., the number of parasites per infected damselfly in eleven natural populations of both species. In line to our predictions, we observed greater prevalence in immature females than mature females but found no difference in parasite prevalence between males and females. Furthermore, we found that parasite intensity was higher in females than males and in immature females than mature females. Our result also showed that the frequency and intensity of parasitism varied between the two studied species, being higher in\n                    <jats:italic>A<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>pygmaea<\/jats:italic>\n                    than\n                    <jats:italic>A<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>femina<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Our study provides evidence that parasitism impacts sexes, developmental stages and species differentially and suggests that variation may occur due to sex, developmental stage, and species-specific resistance and tolerance mechanism.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0261540","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,8]],"date-time":"2022-07-08T13:49:04Z","timestamp":1657288144000},"page":"e0261540","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sexual and developmental variations of ecto-parasitism in damselflies"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2884-2600","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shatabdi","family":"Paul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1795-1315","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Md Kawsar","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie E.","family":"Herberstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0261540.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"751","DOI":"10.1093\/beheco\/ark018","article-title":"Sexual dimorphism in immunocompetence: what does life-history theory predict?","volume":"17","author":"AM Stoehr","year":"2006","journal-title":"Behav Ecol"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0261540.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1000267","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.ppat.1000267","article-title":"The sicker sex.","volume":"5","author":"M.
