Abstract excerpt
Pathogens are generally expected to evolve faster than their hosts and are therefore likely to be locally adapted. However, some pathogens might lag behind in the co-evolutionary arms race because they do not have some of the advantages shared by most other pathogens (e.g., high mutation or recombination rates, short generation time, high dispersal ability). This is the case of Microbotryum fungi that cause the an...
