Dependence of the average virulence and transmission on the possible number of co-infections. The blue curves display the average virulence of the population at the ESS virulence, and the orange curves represent the average transmission of the population at the ESS virulence. The solid curves are for the case where the effective virulence is the sum of all \(\alpha _i\) (\(\beta ^{i_j}_{i_1,i_2,...,i_k}=\frac{\beta _{0i}\alpha _{j_i}}{K_{0}+\Sigma \alpha _{i}}\)) and the dashed curves are that but in the particular case with only \(C_{i_j}=1\) (\(\beta ^{i_j}_{i_1,i_2,...,i_k}=\frac{\beta _{0i}\alpha _{j_i}}{K_{0}+\alpha _{j_i}}\)). All model parameters are as defined in Table 1.
