Re: [ECOLOG-L] Evolution Parasites and hosts Re: [ECOLOG-L] Palin laughs at fruit fly research

The answer that seems to emerge from Altizer's research is that virulence is related to parasite load -- think tapeworms or malaria. Parasites/pathogens that have little effect on their host's health don't spread as well as those that have more effect.
