Evolution Of Parasite Load

Evolution of Parasite Load is a theoretical construct in evolutionary epidemiology that characterizes the dynamic changes in the mean number of parasites per host within a population over time, distinguishing itself from related virulence models by focusing specifically on the evolutionary pressures and ecological feedbacks that shape parasite abundance rather than virulence per se.
