Selecting for infectivity across metapopulations can increase virulence in the social microbe Bacillus thuringiensis

Selecting for infectivity across metapopulations can increase virulence in the social microbe Bacillus thuringiensis

Abstract Passage experiments that sequentially infect hosts with parasites have long been used to manipulate virulence. However, for many invertebrate pathogens, passage has been applied naively without a full theoretical understanding of how best to select for increased virulence and this has led t...
