Heterogeneous host susceptibility enhances prevalence of mixed-genotype micro-parasite infections.
Dose response in micro-parasite infections is usually shallower than predicted by the independent action model, which assumes that each infectious unit has a probability of infection that is independent of the presence of other infectious units. Moreover, the prevalence of mixed-genotype infections...
