AbstractIndirect genetic effects (IGEs) exist when there is heritable variation in one organism's ability to alter a second organism's traits. For example, parasites have antigens that can induce a host immune response, as well as disparate strategies to evade or suppress host immunity; among-parasite genetic variation in these antigens generates among-host variation in immune traits. Here, we experimentally show that the cestode parasite
