Outcome of within-host competition demonstrates that parasite virulence doesn't equal success in a myxozoan model system

Within-host competition can affect outcomes of infections when parasites occupy the same niche. We investigated within-host competition and infection outcomes in Chinook salmon exposed to two genotypes of Ceratonova shasta (myxozoan parasite). We assessed i) virulence (host mortality, median days to...
