Variation in host susceptibility to different pathogens: an experimental and phylogenetic study of Drosophila-viruses
Host shifts -- where a pathogen jumps from one host species to another -- have been described as one of the main factors leading to emerging infectious diseases (EID). The harm that a pathogen causes to a host (virulence) varies following a host shift. Differences in susceptibilities among host spe...
