Rising temperatures favour parasite virulence and parallel molecular evolution following a host jump

2025-01-18

Abstract excerpt

Climate change is facilitating the poleward emergence of parasites, increasing the risk of jumping into new animal species, including humans. Whether more virulent or transmissible variants will spread during these climate-driven outbreaks is unclear. We experimentally evolved a wild parasitic bacterium, across the thermal range (20-30°C) and extremes (35°C) of Cape Verde - the site of field collection - in a nove...
