Symbiont virulence is a poor predictor of impacts on host population dynamics

Marcin Krzysztof Dziuba, Kristina M. McIntire, Elizabeth S. Davenport…·Meghan A. Duffy

The paper tests how symbiont virulence affects host population dynamics, finding that individual-level effects do not reliably predict population-level impacts.

Microsporidian coinfection reduces fitness of a fungal pathogen due to rapid host mortality

Marcin K. Dziuba, Kristina M. McIntire, Elizabeth S. Davenport…·Meghan A. Duffy

The paper shows that coinfection with two pathogens reduces host survival but limits the spread of the more virulent pathogen, suggesting potential population-level benefits.
