Summary of acclimation scenarios.

We analyzed the transmission model (Eqs 1.1–1.4) under several acclimation scenarios (Eqs 2–4). These scenarios include various combinations of the time to host acclimation, ψH, the strength of beneficial acclimation, and whether the infection rate, η(T), and equilibrium within-host infection intensity, ω(T), acclimates as a host trait or parasite trait. Each model version reflects different combinations of model assumptions. The table is organized such that predictions of endemic prevalence from the same set of models are simulated under the same model assumptions, with exception to whether the infection rate or the equilibrium within-host infection intensity acclimates according to the host or the parasite.
