Table 1.
Mean (and s.e.) trait values for infected animals in experiment 2, where animals were maintained until host death. Shown are the spore load of an infected host, the time until host death (infection duration), total fecundity, early fecundity and late fecundity, based on a cut-off of 18 days post-exposure (DPE).
