Under this framework, parasites which are good 'exploiters' are expected to produce more transmission-stage parasites over the duration of infection, with death via over-exploitation the fitness cost limiting virulence evolution (Anderson and May 1982; Ewald 1983; Read 1994; Ebert and Herre 1996; Frank 1996).
