Experimental evolution of parasite life history in bacteriophage Φ2

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Parasite life history theory predicts that lifetime reproductive success evolves through differential allocation of energy to life history traits constrained by trade-offs. These life history traits govern the characteristics of parasites such as their virulence, transmission and infection phenotypes, so understanding their evolution is a key concern for infectious disease prediction and management. This thesis us...
