Heterogeneous host susceptibility enhances prevalence of mixed-genotype micro-parasite infections.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Jun 2011

van der Werf Wopke, Hemerik Lia, Vlak Just M, Zwart Mark P

Abstract excerpt

Dose response in micro-parasite infections is usually shallower than predicted by the independent action model, which assumes that each infectious unit has a probability of infection that is independent of the presence of other infectious units. Moreover, the prevalence of mixed-genotype infections was greater than predicted by this model. No probabilistic infection model has been proposed to account for the...
