Elucidating transmission dynamics and host-parasite-vector relationships for rodent-borne Bartonella spp. in Madagascar
Bartonella spp. are erythrocytic bacteria transmitted via arthropod vectors, which infect a broad range of vertebrate hosts, including humans. We investigated transmission dynamics and host-parasite-vector relationships for potentially zoonotic Bartonella spp. in invasive Rattus rattus hosts and associated arthropod ectoparasites in Madagascar. We identified five distinct species of Bartonella ...
متن کاملHost-Parasite Relationships of Atalodera spp. (Heteroderidae).
Atalodera ucri, Wouts and Sher, 1971, and A. lonicerae, (Wouts, 1973) Luc et al., 1978, induce similar multinucleate syncytia in roots of golden bush and honeysuckle, respectively. The syncytium is initiated in the cortex; as it expands, it includes several partially delimited syncytial units and distorts vascular tissue. Outer walls of the syncytium are relatively smooth and thickest near the ...
متن کاملTransmission dynamics for vector-borne diseases in a patchy environment.
In this paper, a mathematical model is derived to describe the transmission and spread of vector-borne diseases over a patchy environment. The model incorporates into the classic Ross-MacDonald model two factors: disease latencies in both hosts and vectors, and dispersal of hosts between patches. The basic reproduction number R(0) is identified by the theory of the next generation operator for ...

متن کاملSpatial heterogeneity , host movement and vector - borne disease 1 transmission
14 Vector-borne diseases are a global health priority disproportionately affecting low-income populations 15 in tropical and sub-tropical countries. These pathogens live in vectors and hosts that interact in spa16 tially heterogeneous environments where hosts move between regions of varying transmission intensity. 17 Although there is increasing interest in the implications of spatial processes...
