The macroecology and evolution of avian competence for <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>

2020-04-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Aim</h4> Predicting novel reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens would be improved by identifying inter-specific drivers of host competence, the ability to transmit pathogens to new hosts or vectors. Tick-borne pathogens can provide a useful model system, as larvae become infected only when feeding on a competent host during their first bloodmeal. For tick-borne diseases, competence has been best studied for Borre...
