Infection outcomes under genetic and environmental variation in a host-parasite system : implications for maintenance of polymorphism and the evolution of virulence
Virulence (the harm to the host during infection) is the outcome of continuous coevolution between hosts and parasites. This thesis adds to a growing body of work on host-parasite interactions, and describes experiments that study the effects of variation in the genetic and the environmental context...
