Disentangling bacterial invasiveness from lethality in an experimental host‐pathogen system

Abstract Quantifying virulence remains a central problem in human health, pest control, disease ecology, and evolutionary biology. Bacterial virulence is typically quantified by the LT50 (i.e., the time taken to kill 50% of infected hosts); however, such an indicator cannot account for the full comp...
