Incomplete host immunity favors the evolution of virulence in an emergent pathogen

1 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

Ratcheting up wild virulence Partially protective vaccination can sometimes select for increasingly virulent pathogens. Fleming-Davieset al.asked what happens in a natural system. In the United States, the house finch population is suffering an increasingly virulent epidemic caused byMycoplasma gallisepticum. The pathogen induces incomplete immunity that clears less virulent pathogens and offers partial...
