We use adaptive dynamics and pairwise invadability plots to examine the evolutionary dynamics of host resistance to microparasitic infection transmitted indirectly via free stages. We investigate trade-offs between pathogen transmission rate and intrinsic growth rate. Adaptive dynamics distinguishes

Fitness costs associated with resistance or virulence genes are thought to play a key role in determining the dynamics of gene-for-gene (GFG) host-parasite coevolution. However, the nature of interactions between fitness effects of multiple resistance or virulence genes (epistasis) has received less

BACKGROUND: Donor-specific transfusion (DST) has been clinically used to enhance the survival of transplanted organs, and it has been shown in mice to induce tolerance to male (H-Y) antigen (Ag). Although the biologic mechanisms that initiate and maintain DST-induced tolerance involve clonal deletio
