Evolutionary implications of the adaptation to different immune systems in a parasite with a complex life cycle

27 Sept 2005

Abstract excerpt

Many diseases are caused by parasites with complex life cycles that involve several hosts. If parasites cope better with only one of the different types of immune systems of their host species, we might expect a trade-off in parasite performance in the different hosts, that likely influences the evolution of virulence. We tested this hypothesis in a naturally co-evolving host-parasite system consisting of the...
