Parliaments were adjourned, but were quickly reconvened. King Alfonso XI of Castile was the only reigning monarch to die of the plague, but many lesser notables died, including the queens ... generations to recover.

- 609: Factors Of Parasitic Virulence
- ... in all potential hosts (Krebs, J. W. 1995). Extinction is not an inevitable outcome of increased virulence (Lenski and May 1994). Increased or conserved virulence during coevolution calls into question long held assumptions about the effect of coevolution on parasitic virulence (Gibbons 1994). Parasitic virulence frequently changes over coevolutionary time, but the length of parasite-host association does not account for the virulence of the parasite. Transmission has been identified as the factor which determines the level of parasitic virulence (Read and Harvey 1993). TRANSMISSION AND THE DIRECTION OF MODULATION Herre's (1993) experiment with fig wasps (Pegoscapus spp.) and nematodes (Parasitodiplogaster spp.) illustrates the effect of transmission mode on parasitic virulence. When a single female wasp inhabited a fig, all transmission of the parasite was vertical, from the female to her offspring. The parasite's fitness was intimately tied to ... hosts resulted in less penalty for lowering host fecundity. More virulent nematodes had an adaptive advantage when host density was high and horizontal transmission was possible. When host density was low, nematodes which had less effect on host fecundity ensured that offspring (i.e. future hosts) would be available. Low virulence is characteristic of many vertical transmission cycles. Certain parasites avoid impairing their host's fecundity by becoming dormant within ...

Marijuana is literally one of the least toxic substances known.
