A model for the coevolution of immunity and immune evasion in vector-borne diseases with implications for the epidemiology of malaria

JC Koella, C Boëte - The American Naturalist, 2003 - journals.uchicago.edu
We describe a model of host‐parasite coevolution, where the interaction depends on the
investments by the host in its immune response and by the parasite in its ability to suppress (or …
