Snippet: If some species are prone to sustain high level of immune defences to control or limit multiple parasitic species attacks (i.e. resistance) (100, 101), they may be poor amplifiers of pathogens. Conversely, host species prone to rather tolerate multiple attacks (tolerance being the ability to maintain fitness in the presence of a given pathogen load without tempting to reduce it, (100, 101) could be best candidate as amplifiers......
