Variation in resource acquisition and use among host clones creates key epidemiological trade‐offs.

The American naturalist - 1 Nov 2010

Hall Spencer R, Becker Claes R, Duffy Meghan A, Cáceres Carla E

Abstract excerpt

Parasites can certainly harm host fitness. Given such virulence, hosts should evolve strategies to resist or tolerate infection. But what governs those strategies and the costs that they incur? This study illustrates how a fecundity‐susceptibility trade‐off among clonally reared genotypes of a zooplankton (Daphnia dentifera) infected by a fungal parasite (Metschnikowia) arises due to variation in resource...
