Age structure eliminates the impact of coinfection on epidemic dynamics in a freshwater zooplankton system

PA Clay, S Gattis, J Garcia… - The American …, 2023 - journals.uchicago.edu
Parasites often coinfect host populations and, by interacting within hosts, might change the
trajectory of multiparasite epidemics. However, host-parasite interactions often change with …
