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 ... -
Influence of vectors' risk-spreading strategies and environmental stochasticity on the epidemiology and evolution of vector-borne diseaes: the example of Chagas' disease
(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
(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 ...
