Do Coinfections Maintain Genetic Variation in Parasites?

Trends in parasitology - 1 Dec 2016

Seppälä Otto, Jokela Jukka

Abstract excerpt

Host individuals are often infected with multiple, potentially interacting parasite species and genotypes. Such coinfections have consequences for epidemiology, disease severity, and evolution of parasite virulence. As fitness effects of coinfection can be specific to interacting parasite genotypes, coinfections may induce high fitness variation among parasite genotypes. We argue that such interactions can be an...
