Tick-borne infectious agents in nature: Simulated effects of changes in host density on spatial-temporal prevalence of infected ticks
Ticks (Ixodidae) are important vectors of infectious agents that affect human and animal
health, and the spatial-temporal dynamics of tick-host-pathogen-landscape interactions are
difficult to understand based on empirical observations alone. We used a spatially explicit
simulation model to examine the effects of changes in host density on the prevalence of a
hypothetical transstadially transmitted infectious agent in a population of a prototypical three-
host tick under ecological conditions representative of the predominantly forested areas of …
