Understanding parasite evolution offers a conceptual framework for diverse fields and can contribute greatly to decision-making in disease control. Recently, Grech et al. investigated the effects of host genotype-by-parasite genotype interactions on the expression of virulence in an artificial rodent-malaria system. They found that both parasite and host effects explained most of the variance in the virulence, resistance and transmission potential. These findings are a major contribution to the emerging debate on the pros and cons of a coevolutionary approach of virulence evolution; they also hold great potential for more effective control strategies. specialized 052 23 7 299-302 2007 1471-4922 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00001829 10.1016/j.pt.2007.04.012 1471-4922 [F B010040702] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00001829 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2007/09/010040702.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2007-10-11 2017-08-23 PAR00001829 fre
