Man Bites Mosquito: Understanding the Contribution of Human Movement to Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics

25 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

In metropolitan areas people travel frequently and extensively but often in highly structured commuting patterns. We investigate the role of this type of human movement in the epidemiology of vector-borne pathogens such as dengue. Analysis is based on a metapopulation model where mobile humans connect static mosquito subpopulations. We find that, due to frequency dependent biting, infection incidence in the human...
