Intraspecific competition between co-infecting parasite strains enhances host survival in African trypanosomes.

Ecology - 1 Dec 2009

Balmer Oliver, Stearns Stephen Curtis, Schötzau Andreas, Brun Reto

Abstract excerpt

It is becoming increasingly clear that under natural conditions parasitic infections commonly consist of co-infections with multiple conspecific strains. Multiple-strain infections lead to intraspecific interactions and may have important ecological and evolutionary effects on both hosts and parasites. However, experimental evidence on intraspecific competition or facilitation in infections has been scarce...
