Abstract
⺠SNP-based qPCR to detect and distinguish competing S. mansoni strains. ⺠Accurately identify the outcome of trematode co-exposure. ⺠Less than half of infections following co-exposure established by both strains. ⺠Quantify strain-specific productivity to show evidence of parasite competition. ⺠Molecular tool for empirical assessments of coevolutionary theory.
