| Title |
How virulent should a parasite be to its vector? |
| Date |
2003 |
| Description |
Vector-borne parasites are commonly predicted to be less virulent to the vector than to the definitive host as the parasite gains little by harming its main route of transmission. Here we assess the empirical evidence from systems in which insects are vectors for vertebrate, plant, and invertebrate parasites. |
