| Title | Super- and coinfection: filling the range |
| Date | 2002 |
| Description | How many different strains of a disease can coexist in a single population of hosts? What effect do different mechanisms of coexistence have on the properties of diseases? The principle of competitive exclusion (Armstrong and McGehee 1980; Levin 1970) states that no more species can coexist in a system than the number of resources or limiting factors allow, which can be thought of, somewhat imprecisely, as stating that a single trade-off can support only a single species - the one that deals best with that trade-off. |
