Spatial pattern switching enables cyclic evolution in spatial epidemics.

PLoS computational biology - 9 Dec 2010

Boerlijst Maarten Chris, van Ballegooijen Willem Marijn

Abstract excerpt

Infectious diseases often spread as spatial epidemic outbreak waves. A number of model studies have shown that such spatial pattern formation can have important consequences for the evolution of pathogens. Here, we show that such spatial patterns can cause cyclic evolutionary dynamics in selectio...
