While pathogenic and mutualistic microbes are ubiquitous across ecosystems and often co-occur within hosts, how they interact to determine patterns of disease in genetically diverse wild populations is unknown.
To test whether microbial mutualists provide protection against pathogens, and whether this varies among host genotypes, we conducted a field experiment in three naturally-occurring epidemics of a fungal pathogen, Podosphaera plantaginis, infecting a host plant, Plantago lanceolata, in the Åland Islands, Finland. In each population, we collected epidemiological data on experimental plants from six allopatric populations that had been inoculated with a mixture of mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or a non-mycorrhizal control.
Inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increased growth in plants from every population, but also increased host infection rate. Mycorrhizal effects on disease severity varied among host genotypes and strengthened over time during the epidemic. Host genotypes that were more susceptible to the pathogen received stronger protective effects from inoculation.
Our results show that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi introduce both benefits and risks to host plants, and shift patterns of infection in host populations under pathogen attack. Understanding how mutualists alter host susceptibility to disease will be important for predicting infection outcomes in ecological communities and in agriculture.

Interactive effects between diet and genotypes of host and pathogen define the severity of infection
Zhang, Ji; Friman, Ville-Petri; Laakso, Jouni; Mappes, Johanna (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)Host resistance and parasite virulence are influenced by multiple interacting factors in complex natural communities. Yet, these interactive effects are seldom studied concurrently, resulting in poor understanding of ... -
The influence of infective dose, nutrient availability and coinfection on virulence of Flavobacterium columnare : implications of intensive aquaculture on opportunistic infections
Kinnula, Hanna (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Ecological factors are known to affect disease dynamics and even lead to disease emergence. Especially in opportunistic, environmentally transmitted pathogens, the environment may significantly contribute to pathogen ... -
Insect immunity: oral exposure to a bacterial pathogen elicits free radical response and protects from a recurring infection
Mikonranta, Lauri; Mappes, Johanna; Kaukoniitty, Minna; Freitak, Dalial (BioMed Central Ltd., 2014)Background: Previous exposure to a pathogen can help organisms cope with recurring infection. This is widely recognised in vertebrates, but increasing occasions are also being reported in invertebrates where this ... -
Rich resource environment of fish farms facilitates phenotypic variation and virulence in an opportunistic fish pathogen
Pulkkinen, Katja; Ketola, Tarmo; Laakso, Jouni; Mappes, Johanna; Sundberg, Lotta‐Riina (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)Phenotypic variation is suggested to facilitate the persistence of environmentally growing pathogens under environmental change. Here we hypothesized that the intensive farming environment induces higher phenotypic variation ... -
Australia offers unique insight into the ecology of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi : An opportunity not to be lost
Frew, Adam; Aguilar‐Trigueros, Carlos A. (Wiley, 2023)Typified by ancient soils and unique assemblages of flora, Australia provides opportunities to expand our understanding of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Despite their ubiquity, key aspects of Australian AM fungal ...
