Fig. 5

Coevolutionary fitness dynamics for the host-pathogen interaction. Admissible fitness set based on Eq. 25 illustrates the role of defensive microbe density on both host and parasite fitness. Increasing defensive microbes reduces parasite fitness (through reducing infectivity) and host fitness (through effects on net population growth). (Default parameter values r=2.0, μ=0.01, λ=0.01,γ=1.1, β 1=0.01, β 2=0.01, μ P =0.01, μ Dm =0.01, r Dm =4.0, K Dm =10)
