Alternative transmission modes for Trypanosoma cruzi
(American Institute of Mathematical SciencesMathematics Department, University of Texas at ArlingtonMathematical and Computational Modeling Sciences Center, Arizona State University, 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 ScienceMathematics Department, University of Texas at Arlington, 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 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 ...
