    Mol Ecol 12:237-49. 2003
    ..Overall, these host associations are highly dynamic, and appear to be driven by a combination of repeated opportunities for host colonization due to shared breeding sites and large potential host ranges of the nematodes...

    Evolution 57:1543-51. 2003
    ..The data suggest that changes in the sterility component of virulence are due primarily to host evolution, whereas changes in the host mortality component are due in large part to parasite evolution...
