Abstract
This paper considers contact processes with additional voter model dynamics. For such models, results of Lloyd and Sudbury can be applied to find a self-duality, as well as dualities and thinning relations with systems of random walks with annihilation, branching, coalescence, and deaths. We show that similar relations, which are known from the literature for certain interacting SDE's, can be derived as local mean field limits of the relations of Lloyd and Sudbury.
