  abstract = {{A}ccumulating evidence indicates that species interactions such as competition and predation can indirectly alter interactions with other community members, including parasites. {F}or example, presence of predators can induce behavioural defences in the prey, resulting in a change in susceptibility to parasites. {S}uch predator-induced phenotypic changes may be especially pervasive in prey with discrete larval and adult stages, for which exposure to predators during larval development can have strong carry-over effects on adult phenotypes. {T}o the best of our knowledge, no study to date has examined possible carry-over effects of predator exposure on pathogen transmission. {W}e addressed this question using a natural food web consisting of the human malaria parasite {P}lasmodium falciparum, the mosquito vector {A}nopheles coluzzii and a backswimmer, an aquatic predator of mosquito larvae. {A}lthough predator exposure did not significantly alter mosquito susceptibility to {P}. falciparum, it incurred strong fitness costs on other key mosquito life-history traits, including larval development, adult size, fecundity and longevity. {U}sing an epidemiological model, we show that larval predator exposure should overall significantly decrease malaria transmission. {T}hese results highlight the importance of taking into account the effect of environmental stressors on disease ecology and epidemiology.},
