Temperature and Resources Interact to Affect Transmission via Host Foraging Rate and Susceptibility
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.Environmental conditions such as temperature and resource availability can shape disease transmission by altering contact rates and/or the probability of infection given contact. We develop mechanistic models and fit them to experimental data to uncover how temperature and resources jointly affect transmission of fungal parasites (Metschnikowia ...
