Crabgrass, Measles, and Gypsy Moths: an Introduction to Modern Probability
This paper is based on a talk given at the Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society in San Antonio, Texas, January 21-24, 1978. The subject is interacting particle systems and the aim of the paper, like that of the talk, is to explain some of the results in this area to someone with no knowledge of probability theory except for an understanding of what it means to flip a coin with pr...
متن کاملDNA Barcoding of Gypsy Moths From China (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) Reveals New Haplotypes and Divergence Patterns Within Gypsy Moth Subspecies.
The gypsy moth from Asia (two subspecies) is considered a greater threat to North America than European gypsy moth, because of a broader host range and females being capable of flight. Variation within and among gypsy moths from China (nine locations), one of the native countries of Asian gypsy moth, were compared using DNA barcode sequences (658 bp of mtDNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 [COI]...

Our aim in this paper is to explain some of the results about interacting particle systems to someone who has no knowledge of probability theory but unders tands w h a t it means to flip a coin wi th a probabili ty p of heads. In what follows we will discuss five models. The last three are h inted at in the title. The first two are simpler systems that will be useful in explaining the others. t...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a RAPD-PCR marker for distinguishing Asian and North American gypsy moths.
The recent introduction of the Asian gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) into North America has necessitated the development of genetic markers to distinguish Asian moths from the established North American population, which originated in Europe. We used RAPD-PCR to identify a DNA length polymorphism that is diagnostic for the two moth strains. The polymorphism maps to an autosomal locus with codo...
متن کاملVirus Transmission in Gypsy Moths is not a Simple Mass Action Process
We used the nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdNPV) of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), to test one of the basic assumptions of most models of disease dynamics, that the rate of horizontal transmission is directly proportional to the product of the densities of healthy larvae and virus. To do this we made measurements of virus transmission, using small-scale experiments ...
