Host spatial heterogeneity and the spread of vector-borne infection.
We analyze how spatial heterogeneity in host density affects the advance of vector-borne disease. Infection requires vector infestation. The vector spreads only between hosts occupying the same neighborhood, and the number of hosts varies randomly among neighborhoods. Simulation of a spatially detailed model shows that increasing heterogeneity in host abundance reduces pathogen prevalence. Clum...
متن کاملPesticide Spraying May Spread Norovirus
Norovirus is the most common cause of viral foodborne illness worldwide. A new study suggests that contaminated water used to dilute or reconstitute agricultural pesticides may be one way the virus is entering the food supply. Farmers mix pesticides with water from sources including wells, irrigation ditches, rivers, and lakes. All these water sources have been known to harbor norovirus. Until ...
متن کاملSusceptibility and Spread of Infection
o d i a t ryNow Supplement S1 T inea pedis is one of the most commonly encountered foot infections. The fact that in most cases it is easily treatable yet still prevalent in the general population suggests that it is often undiagnosed or remains untreated by health care p rofessionals and patients. The most common agent is Trichophyton rubrum, which is often mistaken for dry skin in its present...
متن کاملExaggerated male pheromones in rats may increase predation cost
Male animals with more conspicuous visual and acoustic signals increase their mating success, but also increase the risk of being attacked by eavesdropping predators. In rodents, males with richer sex pheromones often have higher attractiveness to females, but whether or not the males are also at higher predation risk is poorly known. Here, we used 2 laboratory inbred strains of the rat Rattus ...
متن کاملSPREAD: spatial phylogenetic reconstruction of evolutionary dynamics
SUMMARY SPREAD is a user-friendly, cross-platform application to analyze and visualize Bayesian phylogeographic reconstructions incorporating spatial-temporal diffusion. The software maps phylogenies annotated with both discrete and continuous spatial information and can export high-dimensional posterior summaries to keyhole markup language (KML) for animation of the spatial diffusion through t...
