Invasion window for different levels of cross-resistance. Reproduction ratio for invasion of an escape mutant in a population endemically infected with the wild-type pathogen as a function of \({f}_{R}\) (\({R}_{INV},\) dashed lines, right y-axis), for cross resistance (r) levels of 0, 0.5 and 1 and for \({R}_{RW}=0.8\) (panel a) and \({R}_{RW}=0.1\) (panel b). The dotted line shows the threshold value for \({R}_{INV}\) of 1. Prevalence of the wild-type pathogen as a function of \({f}_{R}\) is given by the solid line, indicated on the left y-axis. The invasion window for the different cross-resistance levels is indicated. \({R}_{NW}=1.5, {R}_{NE}=1.1, {R}_{RE}=1.5\)
