Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness. How such traits are maintained in natural populations remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that balancing selection maintains alternative virulence strategies in the insect-pathogenic fungus Beauveria.
