Abstract:Arthropod vectors are responsible for the transmission of pathogens in humans and other species. The transmission rate depends on the size and activity of the vector population, factors which are in turn strongly affected by environmental conditions. Therefore, in order to develop realistic representations of vector population dynamics, it is necessary to properly account for the impact of a changing environment on the duration of life processes. Here, we use a pseudo-stage-structured population to model the a… Show more
