Parasite-induced shifts in host movement may explain the transient coexistence of high- and low-pathogenic disease strains
2019-04-30
Abstract excerpt
Many parasites induce decreased host movement, known as lethargy, which can impact disease spread and the evolution of virulence. Mathematical models have investigated virulence evolution when parasites cause host death, but disease-induced decreased host movement has received relatively less attention. Here, we consider a model where, due to the within-host parasite replication rate, an infected host can become l...
