A dataset of host and parasite interactions that will be made available through Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI, http://globalbioticinteractions.org).
The file interactions.tsv is a suggestion on how to encode your interaction data using a tab separated file format (tsv) in combination with columns described below. This provides an example on how to capture your data in a human and machine friendly way and keep it relatively doable to update the file using a basic text editor. Other formats are supported, just let us know about the syntax, and we'll make it work.
