Influence of vectors' risk-spreading strategies and environmental stochasticity on the epidemiology and evolution of vector-borne diseaes: the example of Chagas' disease
Kribs, Christopher; Pelosse, Perrine; Ginoux, Marine; Rabinovich, Jorge E.; Gourbiere, Sebastien; Menu, Frederic (Public Library of ScienceDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2013)Insects are known to display strategies that spread the risk of encountering unfavorable conditions, thereby decreasing the extinction probability of genetic lineages in unpredictable environments. To what extent these ... -
The role of the ratio of vector and host densities in the evolution of transmission modes in vector-borne diseases. The example of sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi
Kribs, Christopher; Pelosse, Perrine (Department of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2012)Pathogens may use different routes of transmission to maximize their spread among host populations. Theoretical and empirical work conducted on directly-transmitted diseases suggest that horizontal (i.e., through host ...
