Figure 1
A simple farm or ‘island scenario’ interaction network or ecosystem to illustrate interactions between the environment, animals, humans and a pathogen, Toxoplasma gondii. The dynamics of such a system can be investigated by using a series of differential equations that use quantitative parameters such as population density and population growth rate, which includes processes of birth, death and migration [3]. The connecting lines imply a possible (dotted lines) or known (solid lines) relationship, which might terminate with a negative (red lines) or positive influence (green lines) on the organism or factor.
