Ixodes ricinus, the most common tick species in Northern Europe, plays a significant role as vector of several pathogens, with its geographical distribution expanding recent years. In Southern Sweden, particularly Region Skåne County (referred to Skåne), favorable climate and landscape conditions support extensive proliferation I. ricinus. Despite Lyme borreliosis being this region few annual cases tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) reported, data on circulation pathogens (TBPs) remain limited....
West Nile disease is a vector-borne caused by virus (WNV), involving mosquitoes as vectors and birds maintenance hosts. Humans other mammals can be infected via mosquito bites, developing symptoms ranging from mild fever to severe neurological infection. Due the worldwide spread of WNV, human infection risk high in several countries. Nevertheless, there are still knowledge gaps regarding WNV dynamics. Several aspects transmission taking place between mosquitoes, such length infectious period...
During the last century, emerging diseases have increased in number, posing a severe threat for human health. Zoonoses, particular, represent 60% of diseases, and are big challenge public health due to complexity their dynamics. Mathematical models, by allowing an priori analysis dynamic systems simulation different scenarios at once, may efficient tool determination factors phenomena involved zoonotic infection cycles, but often underexploited In this context, we developed deterministic...
