Coinfection and the Evolution of Resistance: A Mathematical Analysis

This thesis investigates the effect of coinfection on the emergence of resistant pathogens. Firstly, a multiple infection model with treatment is derived and the conditions for invasion are established. The invasion condition is then related to an equivalent and easier to obtain condition, R0, by...
