High virulence does not necessarily impede viral adaptation to a new host: a case study using a plant RNA virus

BACKGROUND: Theory suggests that high virulence could hinder between-host transmission of microparasites, and that virulence therefore will evolve to lower levels. Alternatively, highly virulent microparasites could also curtail host development, thereby limiting both the host resources available to...
