Hypothetical, sex-specific, logistic mortality trajectories driven by different mechanisms. Hypothesis 1: the sexes are differentiated by rates of mortality at the point of infection (b0). Hypothesis 2: sexes are differentiated by the rate of increase in mortality post-infection (b2). Hypothesis 3: sexes are differentiated by their degree of deceleration post-infection, an artefact of heterogeneity in disease response.
