An ‘Epidemic Diversity’ conceptual model explains how host genetic diversity affects variation in parasite success

2024-06-01

Abstract excerpt

According to conventional wisdom, disease transmission rate is usually higher in more genetically homogenous host populations. Previous studies have principally considered how host population genetic diversity impacts the mean of parasite infection performance. However, when considering risks from epidemics and the emergence of novel infectious diseases, variability in parasite success may be just as important as...
