Experimental evaluation of the relationship between lethal or non-lethal virulence and transmission success in malaria parasite infections

BACKGROUND: Evolutionary theory suggests that the selection pressure on parasites to maximize their transmission determines their optimal host exploitation strategies and thus their virulence. Establishing the adaptive basis to parasite life history traits has important consequences for predicting p...
