Parasite Transmission in Social Interacting Hosts: Monogenean Epidemics in Guppies
BACKGROUND: Infection incidence increases with the average number of contacts between susceptible and infected individuals. Contact rates are normally assumed to increase linearly with host density. However, social species seek out each other at low density and saturate their contact rates at high d...
