Title: Modelling the ecology and evolution of post-infection mortality
Abstract: Pathogens can cause long-term damage to their hosts, leading to potentially elevated mortality after recovery. While such 'post-infection mortality' may be widespread, its ecological and evolutionary dynamics remain largely unexplored. In this talk, I will begin by using a simple mathematical model to investigate the epidemiological impacts of post- infection mortality in a variety of settings. I will then discuss various model extensions. Finally, I will use an eco-evolutionary model to study the evolution of post-infection mortality.
