Parasite variation and the evolution of virulence in a Daphnia-microparasite system [PDF]
, 2008 Understanding genetic relationships amongst the life-history traits of parasites is crucial for testing hypotheses on the evolution of virulence. This study therefore examined variation between parasite isolates (the bacterium Pasteuria ramosa) from the ...
