Evolutionary diversification can occur in allopatry or sympatry, be driven by selection unselected, and phenotypically manifested immediately remain latent until a newly encountered environment. Diversification of host–parasite interactions is frequently studied the context intrinsically selective coevolution, but potential for interaction phenotypes to diversify latently during parasite-blind host evolution rarely considered. Here, we use social bacterium experimentally adapted several...

Bacteriophages and their hosts co-evolve while exploiting defending against the other, respectively. Known anti-phage defences prevent attachment to cell or target phage nucleic acids within cell; variation in such shapes host range. While investigating range of virulent myxophage Mx1 among natural isolates social bacterium Myxococcus xanthus, we found not only that Mx1’s is very limited, but also itself antagonised by most isolates. These antagonisms inactivate many phages appear mediated...
