Abstract
Two insect populations compete for resource. One is diseased, the other healthy. The healthy are infected by the diseased. How does this infection proceed? Would it be possible to control insect pests by introducing a diseased version of this species?
And migrant tribes these fruitful shorelands hail.
(Joel Barlow, 1807, The Columbiad, ii. 178)
