Genotypic variation in parasite avoidance behaviour and other mechanistic, nonlinear components of transmission.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 20 Nov 2019

Abstract excerpt

Traditional epidemiological models assume that transmission increases proportionally to the density of parasites. However, empirical data frequently contradict this assumption. General yet mechanistic models can explain why transmission depends nonlinearly on parasite density and thereby identify potential defensive strategies of hosts. For example, hosts could decrease their exposure rates at higher parasite...
