The expression and evolution of virulence in multiple infections: the role of specificity, relative virulence and relative dose.

BMC evolutionary biology - 3 May 2013

Ben-Ami Frida, Routtu Jarkko

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Multiple infections of the same host by different strains of the same microparasite species are believed to play a crucial role during the evolution of parasite virulence. We investigated the role of specificity, relative virulence and relative dose in determining the competitive outc...
