Intraspecific competition between co-infecting parasite strains enhances host survival in African trypanosomes (Publications)
It is becoming increasingly clear that under natural conditions parasitic infections commonly consist of co-infections with multiple conspecific strains. Multiple-strain infections lead to intraspecif
Prevalence and implications of multiple-strain infections (Publications)
Infections frequently contain multiple strains (genotypes) of the same pathogen, yet they are still usually treated as uniform entities. In this Review, we discuss problems with inconsistent definitio
