Modeling Gender-Structured Wildlife Diseases with Harvesting: Chronic Wasting Disease as an Example
Figure 10
Basic reproduction number and critical harvesting rates for a variant of the model that considers density-dependent births and density-independent deaths. The disease persists when , and the population persists when the harvesting rate is less than the larger of the two vertical lines. In between the two vertical lines, the population persists but the disease dies out.
