| contents | The Tallis-Leyton model is a simple model of parasite acquisition where there is no interaction between the host and the acquired parasites. We examine the effect of model parameters on the distribution of the host's parasite burden in the sense of the Lorenz order. This fits with an alternate view of parasite aggregation that has become widely used in empirical studies but is rarely used in the analysis of mathematical models of parasite acquisition. |
