✦ Synopsis

The patterns of interactions among different groups of individuals in a structured population is a n important factor affecting the ease of establishment of a disease and the rate of spread of the disease in a population. A model for the spread of a disease in such a population is described. The model considers two levels of interaction: interactions between individuals within a subpopulation because of geographic proximity, and interactions between individuals of the same or different sub-populations because of attendance at common social functions. Analysis of the model leads to sufficient

The evolution of cooperation among unrelated individuals is studied in a lattice-structured habitat, where individuals interact locally only with their neighbors. The initial population includes Tit-for-Tat (abbreviated as TFT, indicating a cooperative strategy) and All Defect (AD, a selfish strateg

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

Using a 25h2 fractional factorial design, Ðve factors were screened for their ability to promote rumen protozoa growth in a dual outΓ‘ow fermenter and on their inΓ‘uence on fermentation. The tested factors were the addition of bovine serum (BS, 20 ml litre~1) and of a 100 g litre~1 yeast extract solut
