Is host-schistosome coevolution going anywhere?

BMC evolutionary biology - 13 Jun 2007

Webster Joanne P, Shrivastava Jaya, Johnson Paul J, Blair Lynsey

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: That pathogens and hosts coevolve is a powerful concept with broad theoretical and applied implications spanning from genetic theory to the medical and veterinary sciences, particularly in the context of infectious disease epidemiology. A substantial body of theory has been developed to explore the likelihood and consequences of coevolution, but few empirical studies have been conducted to test these...
