🦅 Eco-Epidemiology: The Dynamics of the Predator–Pathogen Model ðŸ¦
──────────────────────────────────────── 🌿 Conceptual Overview In ecological systems, infectious diseases interact dynamically with population regulation mechanisms such as predation. The Eco-epidemiological Predator–Pathogen Model integrates classical predator–prey theory with infectious disease dynamics, enabling the study of how predators influence pathogen persistence within prey populations. Predation may suppress epidemics by preferentially removing infected individuals, or alternatively destabilize populations … Read more
