Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...
