Evolution at experimental epidemic fronts speeds up parasite spread

Manasven Raina, Margherita Allotta, Julien D. Lombard…·Giacomo Zilio

This study shows that parasites at the front of an epidemic evolve higher infectivity and lower virulence, which accelerates epidemic spread when host dispersal is limited.

Co-evolution of host dispersal and parasite virulence in complex landscapes.

Jhelam N. Deshpande, Ruthvik S. Pallagatti, Vasilis Dakos…·Emanuel A. Fronhofer

The paper develops an eco-evolutionary model to study how host dispersal and parasite virulence co-evolve in different landscapes, finding landscape-specific patterns influenced by network topology.
