Abstract excerpt
The aim of this paper was to explore the effect of genetic heterogeneity in host resistance to infection on the population-level risks and outcomes of epidemics. This was done using a stochastic epidemiological model in which the model parameters were assumed to be genetically controlled traits of the host. A finite locus model was explored, with a gene controlling the transmission coefficient (i.e., host...
