%X Competence, defined as the rate at which an individual is exposed to parasites and transmits a resultant infection to a new host or vector, is affected by body size because body size strongly affects behavioral and physiological responses to disease risk.We developed a framework for integrating scaling into models of competence for multihost parasite systems and highlight what data exist for populating such a model
