Single-clone and mixed-clone infections versus host environment in Crithidia bombi infecting bumblebees.

Parasitology - 1 Oct 1998

Imhoof B, Schmid-Hempel P

Abstract excerpt

Current theories assume that adaptive parasite evolution explains variation in the level of virulence and parasite success. In particular, mixed-genotype infections by parasites should generally be more virulent, and faster multiplying strains more successful, either because fixed strategies have evolved or because parasites facultatively alter virulence in response to co-infecting competitors. We compared...
