Abstract excerpt
The dynamics of host susceptibility to parasites are often influenced by trade-offs between the costs and benefits of resistance. We assayed changes in the resistance to three viruses in six lines of Escherichia coli that had been evolving for almost 45,000 generations in their absence. The commo...
