TitleAnderson, Roy Malcolm: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date1984
DescriptionCitation handwritten
CitationBeginning with helminth parasites, and moving on to include protozoan and other microparasites (viruses and bacteria), Anderson has created a theoretical and empirical basis for the study of the overall population ecology of host-parasite associations, with particular reference to the possible regulation of vertebrate and invertebrate populations by parasites. Using public health data, he has employed conventional mathematical models for microparasites and newly created models for macroparasites in quantitative studies of programmes of immunization and of chemotherapy against hookworm, Ascaris and other helminth infections of humans. Recent work combines population genetics with epidemiology to illuminate evolutionary aspects of host-parasite associations. Whether dealing with detailed and specific applications or pursuing fundamental questions in predator-prey theory, Anderson's work is notable for the way theory is grounded upon and tested against field and laboratory experiments.
