Cherrypicking

I'm reading through this article and it seems like some of the sections consist of just randomly hand-picked examples instead of discussing on a broad scope, as if there's only one example. I'm sure there are a lot of examples of brood parasites in fiction but all that's discussed is Wyndham's novel. The Trophically-transmitted parasite section mainly discusses biology rather than fiction, and I'm sure it's important to discuss some biology but the level of detail (like bringing pork tapeworms) seems tangential. The explanation of Toxoplasma gondii probably could be worded so that it moreover explains the plot with the Ceti eel, I'm sure   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  20:16, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
