The Dynamics of Insect-Pathogen Interactions in Stage-Structured Populations

1995-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Few insects are susceptible to pathogens at all stages of their life cycle. The population dynamic consequences of introducing age and stage structure are examined through the use of models of insect-pathogen interactions in which hosts are assumed to contract the disease by ingesting infectious particles in the environment. The models are phrased as delay-differential equations that assume constant demographic pa...
