Diagram illustrating host selection. In a population with a heterogeneous susceptibility profile, infection tends to affect individuals at higher risk. This skews the distribution of recovered individuals towards higher susceptibility, which explains the increased reinfection rates in this subpopulation. Host selection is modulated by transmission intensity and its effect is weaker under higher transmission.
