The epidemiological consequences of optimisation of the individual host immune response [PDF]
, 2002 We present a simple unscaled, quantitative framework that addresses the optimum use of resources throughout a host's lifetime based on continuous exposure to parasites (rather than evolutionary, genetically explicit trade-offs). The principal assumptions
