Asymptomatic pathogen infection alters interactions at higher trophic levels

Plants and insects have intimate and complex relationships. However, other species, such as plant pathogens, may change the way plants and their herbivores interact. Plant diseases can change the host plant quality, alter physical and physiological traits and defensive capability. These changes can...
