Claudia,
Not that I know. But again, most of the evidence we have derives from previous studies that "looked" at host-pathogen ecology and evolution under the perspective of a strict one-to-one relationship. Host switch has always been considered rare, specialists are always (and forever) specialists (same with generalist). The SP provides a more comprehensive framework to accommodate the data we have been generating for a long time. I am not familiar with the literature, but I am almost certain that if they are available you will find that, although not recognized by the authors, the data will likely fit well the precepts of the SP.
All the best and if you need anything just write to us.
Walter
Many thanks Walter, I will for sure look at the literature to see if our observations also fit in this. I will follow your project with interest and let you know if we find something interesting to share.
Best regards!
Claudia
