Spatial structure, host heterogeneity and parasite virulence: implications for vaccine‐driven evolution

4 Jun 2015

Abstract excerpt

Natural host-parasite interactions exhibit considerable variation in host quality, with profound consequences for disease ecology and evolution. For instance, treatments (such as vaccination) may select for more transmissible or virulent strains. Previous theory has addressed the ecological and evolutionary impact of host heterogeneity under the assumption that hosts and parasites disperse globally. Here, we...
