Low migration decreases interference competition among parasites and increases virulence.
Competition among different parasite genotypes within a host is predicted to affect virulence. The direction of this effect, however, depends critically on the mechanisms that parasites use to compete or to cooperate with each other. One mechanism that bacteria use to compete with each other is via the production of bacteria-killing toxins, called bacteriocins. This warfare among parasites with...
متن کاملMigration, Virulence, and the Geographic Mosaic of Adaptation by Parasites.
The geographic mosaic theory of coevolution is predicated on structured populations of interacting species where gene flow and the force of selection can vary among populations, leading to a mosaic of traits in space. Here, I briefly review some recent studies of adaptation by a sterilizing parasite to structured populations of a freshwater snail. The results show geographic structure as expect...
متن کاملCompetition: Towards Low-Latency, Low-Power Wireless Networking under Interference
Low latency reliable data delivery is a key challenge for mission critical applications in the Industrial Internet of Things. Chaos was shown to perform well under normal operating conditions. In this paper we discuss some techniques to enhance its robustness under strong interference.
متن کاملCompetition, cooperation among kin, and virulence in multiple infections.
Critical determinants of the optimum level of virulence in pathogens include the presence of competitors (i.e., multiple infections), their relatedness, and the effect of competitors on pathogen growth and disease development. Empirical data regarding the existence of competitive interactions and their impact on virulence remain very limited compared to theoretical studies. Here, we followed an...
