Cooperation and the evolutionary ecology of bacterial virulence: The Bacillus cereus group as a novel study system
How significant is social evolution theory for the maintenance of virulence in natural populations? We assume that secreted, distantly acting virulence factors are highly likely to be cooperative public goods. Using this assumption, we discuss and critically assess the potential importance of social...
