A diagram illustrating the circadian rhythm. It includes key components like BMAL1, CLOCK, PER, CRY, SCN, and various influences like light, food, exercise, social interaction, and temperature.

In this perspective, how circadian rhythm influences host and parasite biology are discussed – and, if behavior manipulating parasites could leverage clock pathways and behaviors to their own ends.
