Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid evolutionary dynamics and disease threats to biodiversity
TL;DR: The observation that infectious diseases might be both mitigated by and rapidly change the genetic composition of host populations gives new significance to the role of host genetic diversity in species conservation.
Journal Article
Infection genetics: gene-for-gene versus matching-alleles models and all points in between
TL;DR: The controversy between plant pathologists and invertebrate zoologists as to the genetic basis of infection is addressed, and it is shown that the alternative models proposed by these groups represent two ends of a continuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Costs and benefits of plant responses to disease: resistance and tolerance
Ellen L. Simms,Jimmy K. Triplett +1 more
TL;DR: Tolerance, defined as the ability to compensate in part for fitness decrements caused by disease, was found to involve fitness costs and Halfsib families that were more tolerant of disease had lower fitness in the absence of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexually transmitted diseases in animals: ecological and evolutionary implications.
TL;DR: Comparison of the characteristics of sexually transmitted mammalian diseases with those that are transmitted by non-sexual means showed that STDs cause less mortality, are longer-lived in their hosts, are less likely to invoke strong immune responses, have narrower host-ranges, and show less fluctuation in prevalence over time.
Book
Plant Genetic Conservation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a practical and theoretical introduction to the strategies and actions to adopt for conserving plant genetic variation, as well as explaining how humans can exploit this diversity for sustainable development.
