The evolution of host resistance: tolerance and control as distinct strategies.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Sept 2005

Miller M R, White A, Boots M

Abstract excerpt

In response to parasitic infection, hosts may evolve defences that reduce the deleterious effects on survivorship. This may be interpreted as a form of resistance, as long as infected hosts are able to either recover or reproduce. Here we distinguish two important routes to this form of resistance. An infected host may either: (1) tolerate pathogen damage, or (2) control the pathogen by inhibiting its growth. A...
