Exercise 4
Simple models of host-parasite systems do not have any spatial component. What advantages might be gained by constructing a spatial model of disease? Rabies is an example of a disease with interesting spatial spread patterns (see Figure 13.13). Foxes defend discrete, non-overlapping territories. How might territorial behaviour affect the spatial dynamics of rabies spread in foxes?
Reference Figure: 13.13
