Fitness of indirectly transmitted pathogens: restraint and constraint.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2004

Gower Charlotte M, Webster Joanne P

Abstract excerpt

Many pathogens of medical and veterinary importance have obligatory multihost life cycles. Yet, theoretical models aiming to predict patterns of pathogen reproductive success and the limited empirical data available with which to evaluate them, focus on directly transmitted microparasites. Patterns of host exploitation and the relative fitness of individual pathogen genotypes throughout the different host stages...
