Population biology of vector-borne diseases
1 online resource (vii, 293 pages) : illustrations (some color)
Population Biology of Vector-Borne Diseases is the first comprehensive survey of this rapidly developing field. The chapter topics provide an up-to-date presentation of classical concepts, reviews of emerging trends, synthesis of existing knowledge, and a prospective agenda for future research.
Introduction: Current topics in the population biology of infectious diseases -- Heterogeneity, stochasticity and complexity in the dynamics and control of mosquito-borne pathogens -- Seven challenges for spatial analyses of vector-borne diseases -- Infectious disease forecasting for public health -- Force of infection and variation in outbreak size in a multi-species host-pathogen system: West Nile virus in New York City -- Environmental drivers of vector-borne diseases -- Population biology of Culicoides-borne viruses of livestock in Europe --Ecological interactions influencing the emergence, abundance and human exposure to tick-borne pathogens -- Carry-over effects of the larval environment in mosquito-borne disease systems -- Incorporating vector ecology and life history into disease transmission models: insights form tsetse (Glossina spp.) -- Mosquito-virus interactions -- Kindling, logs, and coals: the dynamics of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas Disease in Arequipa, Peru -- Gut microbiome assembly and function in mosquitoes -- Direct and indirect social drivers and impacts of vector-borne diseases -- Vector control, optimal control and vector-borne disease dynamics.
