DISEASE DIVERSITY AND HUMAN FERTILITY

1 Jul 2001

Abstract excerpt

The existence of parasitic constraints on the evolution of life-history traits in free-living organisms has been demonstrated in several plant and animal species. However, the association between different diseases and human traits is virtually unknown. We conducted a comparative analysis on a global scale to test whether the diversity of human diseases, some of them responsible for high incidences of morbidity...
