Rapid evolution of virulence leading to host extinction under host-parasite coevolution

BACKGROUND: Host-parasite coevolution is predicted to result in changes in the virulence of the parasite in order to maximise its reproductive success and transmission potential, either via direct host-to-host transfer or through the environment. The majority of coevolution experiments, however, do...
