A population model for the tick Ixodes ricinus, the most significant vector of pathogens in Europe, is used to explore the relative impact of changes ...

As biting lice (Mallophaga) pass their whole life on the host, they have little opportunity for dispersal, except during direct contact between host i...

The aim of this work was to estimate spatio-temporal parameters of an individual based model of Trichogramma female foraging behaviour in a mass reari...

Although phytophagous insects can vary genetically in host use and exhibit long-range movements, the combined implications of these phenomena for pest...

A study was conducted during 1993-95 to assess the ability of different rhizobial isolates collected from 67 populations of 22 species of Acacia acros...

The role and influence of exotic species in indigenous vector-borne diseases are important but remain understudied. Ascertaining whether disease vecto...

Disease models typically focus on temporal dynamics of infection, while often neglecting environmental processes that determine host movement. In many...

Habitat degradation is a major reason for species extinctions. For parasite-host interactions, the decline of a parasite may not only be related to th...

Aquaculture is a promising source of fish and other aquatic organisms to ensure human food security but it comes at the price of diverse environmental...

Understanding seasonal patterns of activity, or phenology, of vector species is fundamental to determining seasonality of disease risk and epidemics o...
