Effects of shortened host life span on the evolution of parasite life history and virulence in a microbial host-parasite system
BACKGROUND: Ecological factors play an important role in the evolution of parasite exploitation strategies. A common prediction is that, as shorter host life span reduces future opportunities of transmission, parasites compensate with an evolutionary shift towards earlier transmission. They may grow...
