Virulence evolution via pleiotropy in vector-borne plant pathogens.
2024-07-16
Abstract excerpt
The dynamics of virulence evolution in vector-born plant pathogens can be complex. Here we use individual-based simulations to investigate how virulence evolution depends on genetic trade-offs and population structure in pathogen populations. Although quite generic, the model is inspired by the ecology of the plant-pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, and we use it to gain insights into possible modes of evolu...
