Our objective is to provide a math-ematical framework to study the response of a harvested predator-prey system to a disease in the predator and proportional harvesting of predator. We combine a clas-sical predator-prey model with an eco-epidemiological model where predator disease is modeled by a Susceptible-Infected (SI) epidemic system. Our results question the adoption of conservative harvest policies in order to enhance the resilience and stabil-ity of harvested ecological systems to emerging infectious diseases. Indeed we show that harvest can be an effective strategy for controling the spread of the disease and enhancing the resilience of the ecosystem. Whereas the disease can become endemic in the population at low harvest rates, it can be completely eradicated by ha...
