Both infection success and sporulation were lower on plants with prior infection than on plants that were initially healthy, but these differences were not statistically significant (infection: 0.5 ± 0.12 SE vs 0.67 ± 0.1 SE; F1,40 = 1.7, P = 0.2003; sporulation: 0.41 ± 0.11 SE vs 0.5 ± 0.1 SE; F1,40 = 0.73, P = 0.3964).
