This study evaluates the estimability of two within-host population dynamics models by assessing parameter recovery, model mis-match effects, and dynamic reproduction.

The paper shows that viruses in short-lived hosts recombine more frequently due to higher population density and co-infection rates, supported by avian influenza data.

This study identifies optimal environmental cues for malaria parasites to maximize reproductive success by analyzing how different cues affect transmission investment strategies.

This paper develops a method to quantify developmental synchrony in malaria parasites that accounts for population dynamics and validates it using simulated data.
