The evolutionary dynamics of local infection and global reproduction in host–parasite interactions

2000-05-01

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental question in both evolutionary biology and parasitology is why do different levels of virulence evolve in different parasites. Here we use explicitly spatial lattice models to show how the spatial relationships of infection and host reproduction determine the degree of virulence that will occur. When the reproduction of the host acts over larger spatial scales than the infection process higher virulen...
