Evolution of virulence in emerging epidemics.

PLoS pathogens - 1 Mar 2013

Berngruber Thomas W, Froissart Rémy, Choisy Marc, Gandon Sylvain

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that selection for pathogen virulence and horizontal transmission is highest at the onset of an epidemic but decreases thereafter, as the epidemic depletes the pool of susceptible hosts. We tested this prediction by tracking the competition between the latent bacteriophage λ and i...
