Physiology and ecology together regulate host and vector importance for Ross River virus and other vector-borne diseases

2021-01-28

Abstract excerpt

Identifying the key vector and host species driving transmission is notoriously difficult for vector-borne zoonoses, but critical for disease control. Here, we present a general approach for quantifying the role hosts and vectors play in transmission that integrates species’ physiological competence with their ecological traits. We apply this model to the medically important arbovirus Ross River virus (RRV), in Br...
