A nonlinear ecoepidemic model of new type is introduced here, in that it contains genetically distinguishable subpopulations. Further, in the system a predator is present, that hunts these two disease-affected genotypes. Under the assumptions of the model, the disease cannot endemically survive in the predator-free environment. The healthy prey can thrive in the absence of the predators, but this is in line with previous results and does not appear to be due to the effects of the epidemics. On the other hand, the disease affects the stability of the purely demographic equilibria.

Abstract
A nonlinear ecoepidemic model of new type is introduced here, in that it contains genetically distinguishable subpopulations. Further, in the system a predator is present, that hunts these two disease-affected genotypes. Under the assumptions of the model, the disease cannot endemically survive in the predator-free environment. The healthy prey can thrive in the absence of the predators, but this is in line with previous results and does not appear to be due to the effects of the epidemics. On the other hand, the disease affects the stability of the purely demographic equilibria.File in questo prodotto:
