Analysis of threshold-type behaviour in mathematical models of the intrusion of a novel macroparasite in a host colony

Macroparasites include worms, ticks, mites, bugs and fleas. These parasites are well known to induce morbidity effects including a reduction in the hosts' reproductive output and survival. An important scenario is the introduction of a new macroparasite into an established host population which...
