Abstract
Motivated by the study of a parasite infection in a cell line, we introduce a general class of Markov processes for the modelling of population dynamics. The population process evolves as a diffusion with positive jumps whose rate is a function of the population size. It also undergoes catastrophic events which kill a fraction of the population, at a rate depending on the population state. We study the long time behaviour of this class of processes.
