An ecosystem approach to understanding and managing within-host parasite community dynamics
Hosts are typically coinfected by multiple parasite species, resulting in potentially
overwhelming levels of complexity. We argue that an individual host can be considered to …

Ecological Effects on the Dynamics of West Nile Virus and Avian Plasmodium: The Importance of Mosquito Communities and Landscape
Humans and wildlife are at risk from certain vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue,
and West Nile and yellow fevers. Factors linked to global change, including habitat …

Taking a bite out of nutrition and arbovirus infection
J Weger-Lucarelli, H Auerswald… - PLoS neglected …, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Nutrition is a key factor in host–pathogen defense. Malnutrition can increase both host
susceptibility and severity of infection through a number of pathways, and infection itself can …

Daily temperature variation magnifies the toxicity of a mixture consisting of a chemical pesticide and a biopesticide in a vector mosquito
While many studies on the toxicity of pesticides looked at the effects of a higher mean
temperature, effects of the realistic scenario of daily temperature variation are understudied …

Effects of nutrition and density in Culex pipiens
Mosquito larvae face numerous biotic and abiotic challenges that affect their development
and survivorship, as well as adult fitness. We conducted two experiments under semi …

Landscape variation influences trophic cascades in dengue vector food webs
The epidemiology of vector-borne diseases is governed by a structured array of correlative
and causative factors, including landscape (for example, rural versus urban), abiotic (for …
