“…If predators feed upon both susceptible prey (S) and infected prey (I) of a single species, then selectivity or preference of the predators to susceptible and infected preys plays significant role in the system dynamics (Hall et al, 2005). In this case, the traditional type II response function should be replaced by multiple-prey type II, which can be mathematically represented by nS/(a + S + uI) and unI/(a + S + uI) for susceptible and infected preys, respectively (Case, 2000;Hall et al, 2005;Flake et al, 2003;Chatterjee et al, 2012). The parameter u measures the selectivity/preference of the predator to infected prey over the susceptible one or vice-versa.…”
