Parasite fitness in the four host‐parasite combinations. The component traits infectiousness (probability of infection by a single spore), rate of spore production (# counted spores/5 days, ln scale), and host survival (which determines infection duration, copied from Fig. 2) are shown as fitted means with 95% profile likelihood CIs. The fitness measures lifetime transmission success (ln + 1 scale) and asymptotic growth rate (ln + 1 scale) are shown as Tukey box plots. A. parthenogenetica infected after exposure to 10, 000 E. artemiae spores are indicated with open circles and dotted box plots. Note that spore production, host survival, and parasite fitness were analyzed for infected hosts only.
