In this paper the mathematical model of disease-selective predation as proposed by Roy and Chattopadhyay [10] is considered to identify the true risk of selective predation where the predator can recognize the infected prey and avoids those during predation. Furthermore, the model is modified and find out the conditions of getting advantage of prey due to herd in diseases-selective model both numerically and analytically to review the risk factors. Finally, we observe that the risk of prey extinction in disease selective can be arrest in certain level due to herd behavior of prey.
