Disease and Community Structure: The Importance of Host Self-Regulation in a Host-Host-Pathogen Model

1992-06-01

Abstract excerpt

A model is examined of two hosts sharing a directly transmitted pathogen where for the first time both hosts are also subject to self-regulation. The model provides insights into the manner in which self- and pathogen regulation combine in determining the coexistence or otherwise of hosts and the structure of biological communities generally. A number of outcomes are possible: coexistence of both hosts with the pa...
