If the transmission occurs through local contact of the individuals in a spatially structured population, the evolutionarily stable (ESS) traits of parasite might be quite different from what the classical theory with complete mixing predicts. In this paper, we theoretically study the ESS virulence

Models of the evolution of parasite virulence have focused on computing the evolutionarily stable level of virulence favored by tradeoffs within a host and by competition for hosts, and deriving conditions under which strains with different virulence levels can coexist. The results depend on the typ
