Behavioural Epidemiology and Evolution of Plant Pathogens

The objective of this project is to develop a theory of behavioural epidemiology specific to plant health, with an evolutionary perspective. More specifically, we will explore the key mechanisms allowing the adoption (or not) of control methods in sufficient proportion to maintain disease incidence under an acceptable level, taking pathogen evolution into account. Such control methods are often expensive, and we aim at assessing to what extent subsidising them would stabilise their use in order to maximise plant health in the long-run.
