THE EFFECTS OF HOST DIVERSITY ON VECTOR-BORNE DISEASE: THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH DIVERSITY WILL AMPLIFY OR DILUTE THE DISEASE RISK.

The effects of host diversity on vector-borne disease: the conditions under which diversity will amplify or dilute the disease risk.

Multihost vector-borne infectious diseases form a significant fraction of the global infectious disease burden.In this study we explore the relationship between host diversity, vector behavior, and disease risk.To this end, we have developed a new dynamic model which includes two distinct host species and one vector species with variable preference
