摘要 | This book is concerned with the way natural selection affects the virulence of disease agents, here loosely defined as damage to the host, and with how we can use this knowledge to design strategies for managing virulence. These questions are rooted in Darwinian thinking about evolution (Poulin 1998; Stearns 1999). If it were possible to resolve these questions at the level of evolutionary storytelling only, this book would not exist. The impetus behind this book came from recent advances in mathematical evolutionary theory, in particular the ongoing merger of the theories of population dynamics and natural selection. This merger enables quantitative, and therefore testable, predictions of the outcome of selection for a given ecological setting. As so often, applied problems form an ideal testbed for the new tools. |
