Lorenz ordering of parasite loads across hosts in Isham's model of Host-Macroparasite Interaction

In Isham’s model of host-macroparasite interaction, parasite-induced host mortality increases parasite aggregation in the sense of the Lorenz order and related measures when the distribution of the number of parasites entering the host at infectious contacts is log-concave. Furthermore, in the presence of parasite-induce host mortality, the rate of parasite mortality may no longer have a monotone effect on aggregation.
