Genotype-specific interactions and the trade-off between host and parasite fitness
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Evolution of parasite traits is inextricably linked to their hosts. For instance one common definition of parasite virulence is the reduction in host fitness due to infection. Thus, traits of infection must be viewed in both protagon...
