Seasonal host dynamics drive the timing of recurrent epidemics in a wildlife population

Begon, Michael, Telfer, Sandra, Smith, Matthew J., Burthe, Sarah, Paterson, Steve, Lambin, Xavier

The seasonality of recurrent epidemics has been largely neglected, especially where patterns are not driven by forces external to the population. Here, we use data on cowpox virus in field voles to...

Host–pathogen time series data in wildlife support a transmission function between density and frequency dependence

Smith, Matthew J., Telfer, Sandra, Kallio, Eva R., Burthe, Sarah, Cook, Alex R., Lambin, Xavier, ...

A key aim in epidemiology is to understand how pathogens spread within their host populations. Central to this is an elucidation of a pathogen's transmission dynamics. Mathematical models have...
