MOSQUITO MORTALITY AND THE EVOLUTION OF MALARIA VIRULENCE

1 Dec 2003

Abstract excerpt

Several laboratory studies of malaria parasites (Plasmodium sp.) and some field observations suggest that parasite virulence, defined as the harm a parasite causes to its vertebrate host, is positively correlated with transmission. Given this advantage, what limits the continual evolution of higher parasite virulence? One possibility is that while more virulent strains are more infectious, they are also more...
