Fast-lived Vertebrate Hosts Exhibit Higher Potential for Mosquito-borne Parasite Transmission

Abstract excerpt

The emergence of mosquito-borne zoonoses has continually increased over the past decade, posing a significant global public health challenge. Ecological theory can point to the characteristics of populations that make them more likely to form reservoirs of disease. The pace of life hypothesis posits that species with more rapid reproduction and shorter lifespans are more likely to be disease reservoirs than their...
