Multi-infections, competitive interactions, and pathogen coexistence

Résumé

Multiple infections, either simultaneous or sequential, affecting a single plant or crop are now recognized to be common in plant disease epidemics. These multiple infections thus generate a range of competitive interactions (exploitation competition, apparent competition, or interference competition) that directly impact competitors' life history traits, and hence fitness. While a theoretical framework, based primarily on three ecological theories-niche exclusion, the "tragedy of the commons", and the virulence-transmission trade-off, provides insights into potential outcomes of multiple infections on pathogen evolution and virulence and on disease dynamics, experimental observations, although rather rare so far, strongly suggest that unexpected outputs can also occur. This review therefore attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of both theoretical and empirical knowledge about multiple infection in plants. It highlights the need for a detailed assessment of pathogen life history traits and their modulation according to competition types, host receptivity, and pathogen life strategies for a better understanding and prediction of the evolutionary and demographic outcomes of multiple infections, as well as research questions still open in this emerging field of plant pathology.
