Temperature Dependence of the Extrinsic Incubation Period of Orbiviruses in Culicoides Biting Midges
18 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The rate at which viruses replicate and disseminate in competent arthropod vectors is limited by the temperature of their environment, and this can be an important determinant of geographical and seasonal limits to their transmission by arthropods in temperate regions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here, we present a novel statistical methodology for estimating the relationship between temperature...
