Modelling the effects of climate change on the interaction between bacteria and phages with a temperature-dependent lifecycle switch

Abstract excerpt

Ongoing climate change and human activities alter the population dynamics of pathogenic bacteria in natural environments, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Among the key mechanisms of amplification of bacteria in the environment is the alteration of the natural control by their enemies, bacteriophages. Using mathematical modelling, we explore how climate change and implementation of certain...
