A limited host immune range facilitates the creation and maintenance of diversity in parasite virulence

25 Oct 2013

Abstract excerpt

A vast theoretical literature has explored the evolutionary dynamics of parasite virulence. The classic result from this modelling work is that, assuming a saturating transmission-virulence trade-off, there is a single evolutionary optimum where the parasite optimizes the epidemiological R 0. However, there are an increasing number of models that have shown how ecological and epidemiological feedbacks to...
