Effects of epistasis on infectivity range during host-parasite coevolution.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2014

Ashby Ben, Gupta Sunetra, Buckling Angus

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how parasites adapt to changes in host resistance is crucial to evolutionary epidemiology. Experimental studies have demonstrated that parasites are more capable of adapting to gradual, rather than sudden changes in host phenotype, as the latter may require multiple mutations that are unlikely to arise simultaneously. A key, but as yet unexplored factor is precisely how interactions between...
