  abstract = {{P}arasite-induced alterations of the host phenotype have been reported in many systems. {T}hese changes are traditionally categorized into three kinds of phenomena: secondary outcomes of infection with no adaptive value, host adaptations that reduce the detrimental consequences of infection and parasitic adaptations that facilitate transmission. {H}owever, this categorization is a simple view, and host modifications should be considered as co-evolved traits, rather than a total takeover. {H}ere, we present a novel scenario of manipulation, which has considerable potential to resolve issues that are specific to the evolution of behavioural alterations induced by parasites. {I}t is proposed that certain parasites affect fitness-related traits in their hosts to trigger host compensatory responses because these responses can meet the transmission objectives of parasites.},
