Parasite—host coevolution can have many different endpoints, not simply the
commensalism of 'conventional wisdom'. Empirical studies and mathematical models are …

In this study we introduce a mechanistic framework for modeling host–parasite coevolution
using a nested modeling approach. The first step in this approach is to construct a …

Host and parasite evolution are closely intertwined, with selection for adaptations and
counter‐adaptations forming a coevolutionary feedback loop. Coevolutionary dynamics are …

In this article we explore how host survival and fecundity are affected by host‐parasite
coevolution. We examine a situation in which hosts upon being infected can mount a …

Due to the importance of infectious disease, there is a large body of theory on the evolution
of either hosts or, more commonly, parasites. Here we present a fully coevolutionary model …

Most models about the evolutionary interactions between a parasite's virulence and its host's
life history neglect two potentially important aspects: epidemiological and coevolutionary …

According to conventional wisdom, parasites and pathogens should evolve reduced
virulence to their hosts, because more virulent parasites and pathogens are more likely to …

The interaction between multiple parasite strains within different host types may influence
the evolutionary trajectories of parasites. In this article, we formulate a deterministic model …

Most models concerning the evolution of a parasite's virulence and its host's resistance
assume that each component of the relationship (transmission, virulence, recovery, etc.) is …

Several recent studies have discussed the interaction of host life-history traits and parasite
life cycles. It has been observed that the life-history of a host often changes after infection by …
