To be or not to be solitary: Phytophthora infestans' dilemma for optimizing its reproductive fitness in multiple infections.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Clément Julie A J, Magalon Hélène, Glais Isabelle, Jacquot Emmanuel, Andrivon Didier

Abstract excerpt

The success of parasitic life lies in an optimal exploitation of the host to satisfy key functions directly involved in reproductive fitness. Resource availability generally decreases over time with host mortality, but also during multiple infections, where different strains of parasite share host resources. During multiple infections, the number of parasite strains and their genetic relatedness are known to...
