Understanding the transmission of bacterial agents of sapronotic diseases using an ecosystem-based approach: A first spatially realistic metacommunity model
Fig 4
Red curves represent the concentration of free-living bacteria provided by the primary source upstream to the lower catchment area. Blue curves represent the concentration of free-living bacteria provided by both primary and secondary sources to the lower catchment area. (A) saprophytic reproduction rate from dead fish σF = 2 and saprophytic reproduction rate from dead macroinvertebrate σA = 4. (B) σF = 2 and σA = 2.
