Three mechanisms of host resistance to microparasites-avoidance, recovery and tolerance-show different evolutionary dynamics.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Nov 1999

Boots M, Bowers R G

Abstract excerpt

Parasite resistant hosts may avoid becoming infected, recover more quickly after infection or survive longer once infected. A model is constructed to examine the evolution of costly host resistance to directly transmitted microparasites and these three distinct mechanisms of avoidance, recovery and tolerance are compared. In each case polymorphism is more likely between very dissimilar strains and resistance (by...
