We corrected the mean-field equations for a spatial host-pathogen model, revealing previous versions were low-density approximations. Our new equations and analysis of mutant invasion offer a more accurate understanding of pathogen evolution.

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical Biology
  • Epidemiology
  • Evolutionary Dynamics

Background:

  • Spatial host-pathogen models are crucial for understanding disease dynamics and evolution.
  • Previous mean-field approximations for these models have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive accurate mean-field equations for a spatial host-pathogen model.
  • To investigate the impact of pair correlations on model dynamics.
  • To analyze the invasion dynamics of mutant pathogens.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of exact mean-field equations.
  • Inclusion of pair correlation terms.
  • Analysis of mutant invasion in the corrected model.

Main Results:
