Selection for high and low virulence in the malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi.
What stops parasites becoming ever more virulent? Conventional wisdom and most parasite-centred models of the evolution of virulence suppose that risk of host (and, hence, parasite) death imposes selection against more virulent strains. Here we selected for high and low virulence within each of two...
