Genetic diversity, virulence and fitness evolution in an obligate fungal parasite of bees.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2015

Evison S E F, Foley K, Jensen A B, Hughes W O H

Abstract excerpt

Within-host competition is predicted to drive the evolution of virulence in parasites, but the precise outcomes of such interactions are often unpredictable due to many factors including the biology of the host and the parasite, stochastic events and co-evolutionary interactions. Here, we use a s...
