New insights into virulence evolution in multigroup hosts.

The American naturalist - 1 Feb 2012

Williams Paul David

Abstract excerpt

Many of the standard predictions in evolutionary epidemiology result from models in which all hosts are equally susceptible to acquiring an infection and equally capable of resisting pathogens once an infection has been established. This contrasts with the empirical reality that natural host populations are typically composed of individuals with various susceptibilities and vulnerabilities to pathogen...
