Background/Question/Methods Pathogens play an important role for many host organisms, ranging from population regulation to species invasion, which in turn, have applications for issues such as disease control, pest control and biodiversity. However, much of our empirical understanding of host-pathogen ecology and evolution is derived from scenarios where the host is infected by a single pathogen or parasite. Molecular techniques have revealed that many infections in insect hosts are caused by several pathogen genotypes which differ phenotypically in their interaction with the host. This raises the question of how competing genotypes co-exist in the field. The simplest assumption would be that competition between genotypes within a h...
