Experimental evolution of adaptive phenotypic plasticity in a parasite.

Current biology : CB - 21 Jan 2013

Leggett Helen C, Benmayor Rebecca, Hodgson David J, Buckling Angus

Abstract excerpt

Coinfection of parasite genotypes can select for various changes in parasite life history strategies relative to single genotype infections, with consequences for disease dynamics and severity. However, even where coinfection is common, a parasite genotype is also likely to regularly experience single genotype infections over relatively short periods of evolutionary time, due to chance, changes in local disease...
