Evolution of virulence: coinfection and propagule production in spore-producing parasites
BACKGROUND: The evolution of within-host growth rates by parasites is expected to depend on a trade-off between propagule production and virulence. The presence of coinfections, however, is thought to alter this trade-off, and hence alter the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) for the parasite. He...
