Dynamics of multiple infection and within-host competition by the anther-smut pathogen.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2003

Hood M E

Abstract excerpt

Infection of one host by multiple pathogen genotypes represents an important area of pathogen ecology and evolution that lacks a broad empirical foundation. Multiple infection of Silene latifolia by Microbotryum violaceum was studied under field and greenhouse conditions using the natural polymorphism for mating-type bias as a marker. Field transmission resulted in frequent multiple infection, and each stem of...
