Cryptic vector divergence masks vector‐specific patterns of infection: an example from the marine cycle of Lyme borreliosis

Abstract excerpt

Vector organisms are implicated in the transmission of close to a third of all infectious diseases. In many cases, multiple vectors (species or populations) can participate in transmission but may contribute differently to disease ecology and evolution. The presence of cryptic vector populations can be particularly problematic as differences in infection can be difficult to evaluate and may lead to erroneous...
