Phenotypic plasticity in reproductive effort: malaria parasites respond to resource availability.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 16 Aug 2017

Birget Philip L G, Repton Charlotte, O'Donnell Aidan J, Schneider Petra, Reece Sarah E

Abstract excerpt

The trade-off between survival and reproduction is fundamental in the life history of all sexually reproducing organisms. This includes malaria parasites, which rely on asexually replicating stages for within-host survival and on sexually reproducing stages (gametocytes) for between-host transmission. The proportion of asexual stages that form gametocytes (reproductive effort) varies during infections-i.e. is...
