• Functionally Dependent Life-History Traits:
Virulence Important Example
• Pathogen Traits Evolve via Strain Competition
• Spatially Structured Transmission
Dispersal Limitation Reduces Virulence

Virulence
Property of Host-Parasite Interaction
Parasite Generation Time Much Shorter
Virulence: Parasite’s “Strategy” for Exploiting Host
Virulence Evolution Affects Correlated
Demographic Traits
Functional Dependence = Pleiotropic Interaction

Increased Parasite
Virulence
Faster Consumption of Host Resources 
(1) Pathogen Reproductive Rate Increases
(2a) Host’s Mortality Rate Increases
or
(2b) Rate of Clearance by Immune System Increases
or
(2c) Host Reproduction Decreases
3
Virulence Trade-Off
Antagonistic Pleiotropy
Pathogen Increases Propagule Production
(Hence, Infection Transmission) Rate
Duration of Infectious Period Decreases

How Does Virulence Evolve?
Pathogen-Stain Competition
2 Phenotypes Differ in Virulence (Resident, Mutant)
Compete Between (and) Within Hosts
3 Modes of Strain Competition
5
Pathogen-Strain
Competition
1. Cross-Reactive Immunity
Competition Strictly Between-Host Scale
Flu strains
2. Coinfection: Two Strains Exploit Same Host Individual
Compete Both Within & Between-Host
3. Superinfection: More Virulent Strain Excludes Other
Compete Both Within & Between-Host

Ecology: Preemptive Competition

Host Preemption
Assume Homogeneous Mixing Host Population
“Optimally Virulent” Strain, Max R0
Equivalently
Minimizes Equilibrium Density Susceptible Hosts
No Strain Coexistence (Pure ESS)
Recall: Same Niche

von Baalen & Sabelis (1995, Am Nat)
24
Natural Selection:
Optimize 
1. ESS Virulence Maximizes R0 (for any Susceptible
Density)
2. ESS Virulence Minimizes Susceptible Density
Too Few Susceptible Hosts for Mutant Invasion
3. Greater Background Mortality   Greater Virulence
25
Natural Selection:
Optimize 
4. ESS May Exhibit Intermediate Virulence
Under Host Preemption; Natural Diversity
5. No Strain-Coexistence Possible
Under Well-mixed, Preemptive Competition

Alternates Intra-Host Environment, External Environment
Bacteria/Viruses, Including Bacteriophage
“Curse of the pharaoh”
Persistent free-living stage costly; Requires conversion of large
amount of host resources; Pathogens with persistent free-living
stage likely virulent

ESS Virulence: Pathogen Strain Competition
Curse of the Pharaoh: Increased persistence of FLP
(reduced ) demands more host resources,
and virulence () increases.

ESS Reduces  and Increases Virulence
