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 ... -
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 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 ...
