The impact of host sex on the outcome of co-infection.

Scientific reports - 19 Apr 2017

Thompson Olivia, Gipson Stephen A Y, Hall Matthew D

Abstract excerpt

Males and females vary in many characteristics that typically underlie how well a host is able to fight infection, such as body-size, immune capacity, or energy availability. Although well studied in the context of sexual signalling, there is now growing recognition that these differences can influence aspects of pathogen evolution as well. Here we consider how co-infection between multiple pathogen strains is...
