Contrasting dynamics of <i>Bartonella</i> spp. in cyclic field vole populations: the impact of vector and host dynamics
13 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Many zoonotic disease agents are transmitted between hosts by arthropod vectors, including fleas, but few empirical studies of host-vector-microparasite dynamics have investigated the relative importance of hosts and vectors. This study investigates the dynamics of 4 closely related Bartonella species and their flea vectors in cyclic populations of field voles (Microtus agrestis) over 3 years. The probability of...
