Graphical analysis of evolutionary trade-off in sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi transmission modes
(ElsevierDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2014-07)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The notion of evolutionary trade-off (one attribute increasing at the expense of another) is central to the evolution of traits, well-studied especially in life-history ... -
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
(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 ...
