Heterogeneous Host Susceptibility Enhances Prevalence of Mixed-Genotype Micro-Parasite Infections
Figure 5
Fitted models and experimental data.
Fitted Models 1–4 compared with experimental data. In all panels, the log of the dose is on the x-axis and frequency on the y-axis. Dose mortality responses are given in the left-hand panels (A–D). Here, diamonds are the experimental data and the lines model predictions. Relationships between dose and rate of mixed-genotype infection in cadavers are presented in the right hand panels (E–H). Again, markers denote experimental data while lines denote model predictions: red circles and the red solid line denote mixed infection with genotypes A and B, green triangles and the green dotted line denote infections with genotype A only, and blue squares and the fine dotted blue line denote infections with genotypes B only. Horizontally adjacent panels pertain to the same model, as indicated in the left hand panel (e.g., panels A and E correspond to model 1). Model 2 gives the best description of the data (see Table 3).
