Three Mechanisms of Host Resistance to Microparasites—Avoidance, Recovery and Tolerance—Show Different Evolutionary Dynamics

Parasite resistant hosts may avoid becoming infected, recover more quickly after infection or survive longer once infected. A model is constructed to examine the evolution of costly host resistance to directly transmitted microparasites and these three distinct mechanisms of avoidance, recovery and...
