This article discusses the community dynamics of the evolution of host resistance to microparasites. We present exact results for a model with an arbitrary number of host strains. We show that these results are identical to those inferred on the basis of invadability criteria. The long-term behaviou
Chaos is the likely outcome of the interaction between a parasite and a host with discrete generations, if the parasite's virulence is high and if transmission from one generation to the next is held constant. We studied two alternative routes of transmission-vertical transmission from infecteds to
The effects of host cannibalism on a host-parasitoid system were explored through experiment and modelling. In individual encounters between parasitized and unparasitized Plodia interpunctella larvae, parasitized larvae were more likely to be cannibalized. Inclusion of this differential cannibalism
