Impact of life stage-dependent dispersal on the colonization dynamics of host patches by ticks and tick-borne infectious agents

BACKGROUND: When colonization and gene flow depend on host-mediated dispersal, a key factor affecting vector dispersal potential is the time spent on the host for the blood meal, a characteristic that can vary strongly among life history stages. Using a 2-patch vector-pathogen population model and s...
