Rapid evolution and ecological host-parasite dynamics.

Ecology letters - 1 Jan 2007

Duffy Meghan A, Sivars-Becker Lena

Abstract excerpt

Traditionally, the termination of parasite epidemics has been attributed to ecological causes: namely, the depletion of susceptible hosts as a result of mortality or acquired immunity. Here, we suggest that epidemics can also end because of rapid host evolution. Focusing on a particular host-parasite system, Daphnia dentifera and its parasite Metschnikowia bicuspidata, we show that Daphnia from lakes with recent...
