1
Models of host-parasite regulation D. Gurarie
2
I. Macro-parasites (helminth) regulation Macro parasites can regulate the host reproduction and growth (Anderson-May 1978) ; Contribute to host birth/death rates (additive or multiplicative)
3
Single host models Inf+L system: Burden strata
4
Reduced (closure) models Fix-k model (k – aggregation index; w=P/H –mean burden) For negative binomial with aggregation k
5
Reduced ‘predator-prey’ For quasi-equilibrated larvae: H1H1 H0H0 f=0 g=0 H
6
Two-host models (schisto) Life Cycle of Schistosomiasis
7
Human ‘burden’ strata + snail ‘prevalence’+ 2 larvae => Reduced 6D, 4D, 3D models. Differs from standard Ross-Macdonald -“Mean burden” + “infected prevalence” -(for const N)
8
Applications Regulation and stability of host–parasite populations (Anderson-May 1978) Aggregation for single parasite species and multi-strain competition, coexistence, invasion (Dobson-Roberts 1994; Pugliese 2000, Rosa- Pugliese 2002) Parasite (schisto) diversity and drug resistance (Feng et al 2001) Goal: application to schisto control
9
II. Micro-parasite regulation (malaria) Intra-host P. regulation by host immunity Community transmission modulated by immune regulation Goal: improved SIR (for control, drug resistance, et al)!
10
Life cycle More details
11
RBC cycle and immune response Merozoites: 48 hr replication cycle in RBC with replicating factor: Fever suppression at pyrogenic level: Immunity (transient, lost in the absence of reinfection). 3 forms: fever control; species transcending (ST); species specific (SS)

Results: single species
