title: Continuous-time predator-prey models with parasites.
abstract: We study a deterministic continuous-time predator-prey model with parasites, where the prey population is the intermediate host for the parasites. It is assumed that the parasites can affect the behavior of the predator-prey interaction due to infection. The asymptotic dynamics of the system are investigated. A stochastic version of the model is also presented and numerically simulated. We then compare and contrast the two types of models.
