Alternative transmission modes for Trypanosoma cruzi
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2010-07)
The parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas’ disease, is
typically transmitted through a cycle in which vectors become infected through
bloodmeals on infected hosts and then infect other hosts through defecation
at ...
Estimating contact process saturation in sylvatic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in the United States
(Public Library of Science, 2010-04)
Although it has been known for nearly a century that strains of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent for Chagas' disease, are enzootic in the southern U.S., much remains unknown about the dynamics of its transmission ...
The role of adaptations in two-strain competition for sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi transmission
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2012-08)
This study presents a continuous-time model for the sylvatic transmission dynamics of two strains of Trypanosoma cruzi enzootic in North America, in order to study the role that adaptations of each strain to distinct modes ...
