Empirical support for optimal virulence in a castrating parasite.

Empirical support for optimal virulence in a castrating parasite.

The trade-off hypothesis for the evolution of virulence predicts that parasite transmission stage production and host exploitation are balanced such that lifetime transmission success (LTS) is maximised. However, the experimental evidence for this prediction is weak, mainly because LTS, which indica...
