Optimal transmission investment strategies do not always translate effectively across different environmental and developmental conditions.

<p>(A) Fitness of parasite strategies in the deterministic model is largely uncoupled from the geometric fitness of those same strategies in the semi-stochastic model. Plotted on the y axis is the geometric mean fitness of 1000 simulations of parasites adopting the optimal transmission investm...
