Demographic buffering: titrating the effects of birth rate and imperfect immunity on epidemic dynamics

Host demography can alter the dynamics of infectious disease. In the case of perfectly immunizing infections, observations of strong sensitivity to demographic variation have been mechanistically explained through analysis of the susceptible–infected–recovered (SIR) model that assumes lifelong immun...
