Unraveling the seasonal dynamics of ixodid ticks: A flexible matrix population model with delayed life history effects

2024-01-09

Abstract excerpt

Many vector-borne diseases are sensitive to changes in land use and climate, making it crucial to understand the factors that govern the vector populations. Ixodid ticks, which serve as vectors for multiple diseases, have a slow life cycle compared to many of their hosts. The duration of each active life stage (larvae, nymph, adult) varies greatly and depends on factors such as timing of questing and development,...
