Facultative symbiont virulence determines horizontal transmission rate without host strain specificity
S. Noh, E. R. Larson, R. M. Covitz…·R. A. Dettmann
This study investigates the evolutionary dynamics of a facultative symbiosis between Dictyostelium discoideum and Paraburkholderia bonniea, finding that host-symbiont associations result from priority effects rather than coevolution.
