  text: 'Background: Increasing temperatures are predicted to strongly impact host-parasite
    interactions, but empirical tests are rare. Host species that are naturally exposed
    to a broad temperature spectrum offer the possibility to investigate the effects
    of elevated temperatures on hosts and parasites. Using three-spined sticklebacks,
    Gasterosteus aculeatus L., and tapeworms, Schistocephalus solidus (Müller, 1776),
    originating from a cold and a warm water site of a volcanic lake, we subjected
    sympatric and allopatric host-parasite combinations to cold and warm conditions
    in a fully crossed design. We predicted that warm temperatures would promote the
    development of the parasites, while the hosts might benefit from cooler temperatures.
    We further expected adaptations to the local temperature and mutual adaptations
    of local host-parasite pairs. Results: Overall, S. solidus parasites grew faster
    at warm temperatures and stickleback hosts at cold temperatures. On a finer scale,
    we observed that parasites were able to exploit their hosts more efficiently at
    the parasite’s temperature of origin. In contrast, host tolerance towards parasite
    infection was higher when sticklebacks were infected with parasites at the parasite’s
    ‘foreign’ temperature. Cold-origin sticklebacks tended to grow faster and parasite
    infection induced a stronger immune response. Conclusions: Our results suggest
    that increasing environmental temperatures promote the parasite rather than the
    host and that host tolerance is dependent on the interaction between parasite
    infection and temperature. Sticklebacks might use tolerance mechanisms towards
    parasite infection in combination with their high plasticity towards temperature
    changes to cope with increasing parasite infection pressures and rising temperatures.'
