| evolution of seasonal transmission patterns in avian blood-borne parasites. | in temperate regions, many vector-borne parasites maximise their transmission prospects by adjusting reproduction to seasonal cycles of host susceptibility and vector availability. nevertheless, in these regions there are areas where environmental conditions are favourable throughout the year, so that parasites could benefit from a year-round transmission strategy. we analysed how different transmission strategies (strict summer transmission, extended summer transmission - including spring and a ... | 2015 | 25957160 |
