Testing a key assumption of host‐pathogen theory: density and disease transmission

2008-10-28

Abstract excerpt

Conventional disease theory suggests that extinction with density‐dependent transmission is unlikely as the threshold host density (KT) is greater than zero. Extinction may result if transmission is frequency dependent or the pathogen has an environmental reservoir. Given the importance of understanding how pathogens affect species richness and diversity there are few empirical tests of these conclusions. We used...
