• Selection due to differential survival and death of individuals, in contrast to differential reproduction.

  it is unlikely that viability selection among parasites of the large sample inoculated could explain the variability among animals (at agiven temperature) in the exponential rate of infection progress after the third day.

  Linkage under differential-viability-selection as well as polysomic inheritance are not easy problems.
