Frequency-Dependent Disease Transmission and the Dynamics of the Silene-Ustilago Host-Pathogen System

1995-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Models incorporating density-dependent disease transmission functions generally provide a good fit for airborne and directly transmitted bacterial or viral diseases. However, the transmission dynamics of sexually transmitted and vector-borne diseases are likely to be frequency- rather than density-dependent, which results in qualitatively different dynamics. Here, we present analyses of a basic epidemiological mod...
