요약 | Parasites extract resources from their hosts. Since hosts have little interest in supplying resources to parasites and parasites often live at high densities, resources can be in short supply. As a result, competition between parasites within-ho |
요약 | Here we use a mouse model of malaria infection, Plasmodium chabaudi, to investigate how the availability of within-host resources impacts both the population dynamics of parasites and the emergence of drug resistant parasites. We demonstrate th |
요약 | Our work shows that changes in within-host resource availability can alter parasite-parasite and host-parasite interactions and can be harnessed in the management of drug resistance. |
