Multiple infections by the anther smut pathogen are frequent and involve related strains.

PLoS pathogens - 1 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

Population models of host-parasite interactions predict that when different parasite genotypes compete within a host for limited resources, those that exploit the host faster will be selected, leading to an increase in parasite virulence. When parasites sharing a host are related, however, kin selection should lead to more cooperative host exploitation that may involve slower rates of parasite reproduction....
