A General Theory for the Evolutionary Dynamics of Virulence
A General Theory for the Evolutionary Dynamics of Virulence is a scholarly work by Stephen R. Proulx and Troy Day, published in 2004 in ''The American Naturalist''. The main subjects of the publication include virulence, evolutionary game theory, host organism, RNA silencing, game theory, evolutionary biology, epidemiological modeling, generality, dynamics, human evolutionary genetics, evolutionarily stable strategy, evolutionary dynamics, and biology. The authors illustrate the generality and intuitive appeal of the theory through a series of examples showing how it can lead to transparent interpretations of the selective forces governing virulence evolution.
