Host switching vs. host sharing in overlapping sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi transmission cycles
(Taylor & Francis OpenDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2015-09)The principle of competitive exclusion is well established for multiple populations competing for the same resource, and simple models for multistrain infection exhibit it as well when cross-immunity precludes coinfections. ... -
The role of adaptations in two-strain competition for sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi transmission
(Taylor and Francis OnlineDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-08)This study presents a continuous-time model for the sylvatic transmission dynamics of two strains of Trypanosoma cruzi enzootic in North America, in order to study the role that adaptations of each strain to distinct modes ...
