Intraguild predati<strong>on</strong> or not? Taking a different perspective<br />

<strong>on</strong> some eco-epidemiological models<br />

The field <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> eco-epidemiology has integrated epidemiology wi<str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g> community ecology<br />

and similarities between host-parasitoid and host-pa<str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g>ogen interacti<strong>on</strong>s wi<str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

classical intraguild predati<strong>on</strong> (IGP) have been noticed. In <str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g>is talk I want to show<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g>at certain eco-epidemiological scenarios not <strong>on</strong>ly fit into <str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g>e IGP framework, but<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g>at <str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g>ey may suggest a different perspective <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g>e underlying community structure.<br />

After an appropriate transformati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> variables particular cases <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> IGP are<br />

found to be structurally similar to “simpler” community modules and <str<strong>on</strong>g>th</str<strong>on</strong>g>is structural<br />

similarity also translates into remarkably similar community dynamics.<br />
