The expression and evolution of virulence in multiple infections: the role of specificity, relative virulence and relative dose
BACKGROUND: Multiple infections of the same host by different strains of the same microparasite species are believed to play a crucial role during the evolution of parasite virulence. We investigated the role of specificity, relative virulence and relative dose in determining the competitive outcome...
