Chemostats and epidemics: Competition for nutrients/hosts
In a chemostat, several species compete for the same nutrient, whilein an epidemic, several strains of the same pathogen may competefor the same susceptible hosts. As winner, chemostat models predict the specieswith the lowest break-even concentration, while epidemicmodels predict the strain with...
