Host populations So far we have been talking about the population dynamics of the pathogens themselves; now we’ll discuss how parasites affect the population dynamics of their hosts, whether wildlife (animal or plant) or human. Regulation Do parasites control population size? How? High infection rate, intermediate virulence (disease-induced death rate) have the greatest impact on a population (because virulence lowers by killing hosts “too quickly”). Can parasites regulate a populat...
