Linking sex differences to the evolution of infectious disease life-histories.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 5 Oct 2018

Hall Matthew D, Mideo Nicole

Abstract excerpt

Sex differences in the prevalence, course and severity of infection are widespread, yet the evolutionary consequences of these differences remain unclear. Understanding how male-female differences affect the trajectory of infectious disease requires connecting the contrasting dynamics that pathogens might experience within each sex to the number of susceptible and infected individuals that are circulating in a...
