Pathogenic organisms are typically thought to be constrained by a tradeoff between the rate and duration of transmission, an assumption that underpins a considerable body of evolutionary theory. Here we test for a transmission-duration tradeoff using detailed historical malaria infection data from an era prior to widespread use of antibiotics when humans were deliberately infected with malaria parasites as treatme...
