Parasite infection can favor seasonal migration by hosts,

|
Seasonal migration influences how animals acquire and transmit parasites. Past work shows that migration can reduce infection via escaping infected areas or culling infected individuals. Here I propose a third process: migratory recovery, where infected individuals lose their parasites (recover from infection) during migration. Although migratory recovery is likely widespread, it is challenging to empirically test it as a selective force promoting migration. I will present a model that couples continuous and discrete time dynamics to determine when migratory recovery can select for migration. |
