Variation in infectivity and aggressiveness in space and time in wild host–pathogen systems: causes and consequences
Variation in host resistance and in the ability of pathogens to infect and grow (ie
pathogenicity) is important as it provides the raw material for antagonistic (co) evolution and …

A population biology perspective on the stepwise infection process of the bacterial pathogen Pasteuria ramosa in Daphnia
The infection process of many diseases can be divided into series of steps, each one
required to successfully complete the parasite's life and transmission cycle. This approach …

[HTML][HTML] A matching-allele model explains host resistance to parasites
The maintenance of genetic variation [1–3] and sex [4–8] despite its costs [9] has long
puzzled biologists. A popular idea, the Red Queen Theory [4–8], is that under rapid …
