Trade‐offs and mixed infections in an obligate‐killing insect pathogen
Natural populations of pathogens are frequently composed of numerous interacting strains. Understanding what maintains this diversity remains a key focus of research in disease ecology. In addition, within-host pathogen dynamics can have a strong impact on both infection outcome and the evolution of pathogen virulence, and thus, understanding the impact of pathogen diversity is important for di...

متن کاملSynergies and trade-offs between insect and pathogen resistance in maize leaves and roots.
Determining links between plant defence strategies is important to understand plant evolution and to optimize crop breeding strategies. Although several examples of synergies and trade-offs between defence traits are known for plants that are under attack by multiple organisms, few studies have attempted to measure correlations of defensive strategies using specific single attackers. Such links...
متن کاملTrade-offs between pathogen and herbivore resistance.
During the past year genetic and pharmacological experiments have revealed a molecular basis for the cross-talk between signaling pathways mediating pathogen and herbivore resistance. These findings provide considerable insight into the apparently contradictory results reported for trade-offs between pathogen and herbivore resistance.
متن کاملTrade-offs shape the evolution of the vector-borne insect pathogen Xenorhabdus nematophila.
Our current understanding on how pathogens evolve relies on the hypothesis that pathogens' transmission is traded off against host exploitation. In this study, we surveyed the possibility that trade-offs determine the evolution of the bacterial insect pathogen, Xenorhabdus nematophila. This bacterium rapidly kills the hosts it infects and is transmitted from host cadavers to new insects by a ne...
