Feeding the fever: Complex host‐pathogen dynamics along continuous resource gradients

ET Borer, AE Kendig, RD Holt - Ecology and Evolution, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Food has long been known to perform dual functions of nutrition and medicine, but mounting
evidence suggests that complex host‐pathogen dynamics can emerge along continuous …

Dead or alive: carbon as a currency to integrate disease and ecosystem ecology theory

EW Seabloom, A Peace, L Asik, RA Everett, T Frenken… - Oikos, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Death is a common outcome of infection, but most disease models do not track hosts after
death. Instead, these hosts disappear into a void. This assumption lacks critical realism …

Within‐plant coexistence of viruses across nitrogen and phosphorus supply rates

AE Kendig, EW Seabloom, B Pell, Y Kuang… - Ecosphere, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Most species can be coinfected by multiple pathogens that may interact through shared
resources (ie, resource competition) or the host immune system (ie, apparent competition) …

Epidemiological and ecological consequences of virus manipulation of host and vector in plant virus transmission

NJ Cunniffe, NP Taylor, FM Hamelin… - PLOS Computational …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
Many plant viruses are transmitted by insect vectors. Transmission can be described as
persistent or non-persistent depending on rates of acquisition, retention, and inoculation of …

A working guide to spatial mechanistic modelling in Julia

R Schouten, V Baudrot, P Umina… - Methods in Ecology and …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Models that can predict the dynamics of larger scale ecological processes are
increasingly important in a rapidly changing world. The Julia language gives a unique …

Mixed infection, risk projection, and misdirection: Interactions among pathogens alter links between host resources and disease

AT Strauss, L Bowerman, A Porath‐Krause… - Ecology and …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
A growing body of literature links resources of hosts to their risk of infectious disease. Yet
most hosts encounter multiple pathogens, and projections of disease risk based on resource …

Altered feeding behaviors in disease vectors

LJ Cator - Animal Behavior and Parasitism, 2022 - books.google.com
It has long been noted that infection can impact animal foraging, feeding patterns, and food
choice (1),(2). Early work documented anorexic responses in animals such as infected mice …

Effects of predator modulation and vector preference on pathogen transmission in plant populations

M Su, K Yang - Biosystems, 2022 - Elsevier
Biological control programs frequently rely on predators to control vector-borne pathogens
by consumptive effects on vector abundance in agroecosystems. Meanwhile, the spread of …

Pliant pathogens: Estimating viral spread when confronted with new vector, host, and environmental conditions

A Porath‐Krause, R Campbell… - Ecology and …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Pathogen spread rates are determined, in part, by the performance of pathogens under
altered environmental conditions and their ability to persist while switching among hosts and …

How do temperature and plant resistance shape the colonisation dynamics of wheat plants by Rhopalosiphum padi L.(Hemiptera: Aphididae) and barley yellow dwarf …
