The role of adaptations in two-strain competition for sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi transmission
(Taylor and Francis OnlineDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 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 ... -
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 ...
