To be or not to be solitary: Phytophthora infestans' dilemma for optimizing its reproductive fitness in multiple infections.
The success of parasitic life lies in an optimal exploitation of the host to satisfy key functions directly involved in reproductive fitness. Resource availability generally decreases over time with host mortality, but also during multiple infections, where different strains of parasite share host r...
