Within-host competitive exclusion among species of the anther smut pathogen.

BMC ecology - 7 May 2009

Gold Alexander, Giraud Tatiana, Hood Michael E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Host individuals represent an arena in which pathogens compete for resources and transmission opportunities, with major implications for the evolution of virulence and the structure of populations. Studies to date have focused on competitive interactions within pathogen species, and the level of antagonism tends to increase with the genetic distance between competitors. Anther-smut fungi, in the genus...
