Is more better? Higher sterilization of infected hosts need not result in reduced pest population size
Original language description
We study the regulatory effect of sterilization due to infectious diseases transmitted both vertically and horizontally on their host population. For low to high efficiencies of vertical transmission, we found that the population size at the endemic equilibrium may actually increase with higher levels of sterility. On the contrary, if the disease is sexually transmitted and the host reproduction and disease transmission are both mediated by mating, we do not observe such a counter-intuitive effect and the population size at the endemic equilibrium declines with higher levels of sterility. Pest control techniques involving a release of sterilizing pathogens thus have to carefully consider the routes such pathogens use for transmission.
