Evolutionary Control of Infectious Disease: Prospects for Vectorborne and Waterborne Pathogens
Evolutionary theory may contribute to practical solutions for control of disease by identifying interventions that may cause pathogens to evolve to reduced virulence. Theory predicts, for example, that pathogens transmitted by water or arthropod vectors should evolve to relatively high levels of vir...
