A modified matrix model captures the population dynamics for the primary vector of Lyme disease in North America
2024-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Lyme disease, the most prevalent tick‐borne disease in North America, is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi , and in the eastern and central United States, it is spread to humans by the black‐legged tick ( Ixodes scapularis ). Due to the complex, multiyear and multihost life cycle of this species, a matrix modeling approach is needed to effectively estimate subseasonal, multistage survival and t...
