• Personality and parasites: sex-dependent associations between avian malaria infection and multiple behavioural traits (2011, background): “Co-infection can have additive, synergistic or protective effects on hosts (Read and Taylor 2001; Pedersen and Fenton 2006; Helmby 2009) frequently through immunomodulated interactions within the host (Niikura et al.”
• Virulence evolution and the trade‐off hypothesis: history, current state of affairs and the future (2009, background): “In classical models, the fitness of a parasite strain is given by the number of infections caused by an infected host (Box 1). This is not true if different strains have to share hosts, a common phenomenon called multiple infection ( Read & Taylor, 2001 ).”
• An ecological and evolutionary perspective on human–microbe mutualism and disease (2007, background): “, or in-host evolution, as occurs with human immunodeficiency virus) can affect virulence, because an optimally virulent pathogen (as measured by transmission success) might not be the best competitor during mixed infections in a single hos”
• Biological and biomedical implications of the co-evolution of pathogens and their hosts (2002, background): “Moreover, multiple infections with different strains of the same pathogen are commo”
• Mediating mutualisms: farm management practices and evolutionary changes in symbiont co-operation (2002, background): “However, we suggest that inoculation simultaneously increases the degree of symbiont competition and this may, in turn, modify host benefits derived from the relationship (for a related discussion on competition effects on parasite virulence see Read & Taylor 2001).”
• Mixed infections and insect–pathogen interactions (2003, background): “Competitive interactions between parasites (including exploitation, interference and apparent competition) may also occur, affecting both the within-host dynamics of individual parasites and host health (see Cox 2001 and Read & Taylor 2001 for review and discussion).”
• The Social Lives of Microbes (2007, background): “However, despite huge amounts of theoretical attention, there is a lack of empirical support for these predictions (Read & Taylor 2001).”
