The eco-epidemiology of Chagas disease risk in Panama
… of Chagas disease have elucidated important ecological and epidemiological risk factors for the regions of most intense transmission, particularly the “southern cone” of South America. In contrast, we know little about sylvatic transmission, whereby triatomine species living in natural …

Eco-epidemiology of West Nile virus in the midwestern United States
… interacting factors affecting WNV disease ecology. Considerable variation in factors affecting WNV transmission derive from climatic, environmental, physical, and human socio-economic and demographic forces, and can vary weekly and across fine-scales. Several research teams have …

Impacts of host biology on the urban eco-epidemiology of West Nile virus
Disease transmission is inherently ecological, requiring ecological interactions among vectors, hosts and pathogens. Disease ecology as a field, however, has only emerged within the past several decades. Despite significant advances in the study of ecology of infectious diseases in the past twenty …

Eco -Epidemiology of Schistosoma Haematobium: Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Infection and Snail Dispersal in Msambweni, Kenya
The occurrence of many diseases such as schistosomiasis could be dramatically reduced if people had adequate access to clean water and sanitation. To improve control of S. haematobium transmission, I propose that control measures targeting snails (mollusciciding and environmental modification) and …

Ecological risk models for visceral leishmaniais [sic] in Bahia, Brazil and diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in dogs in south central Louisiana
… well as to obtain a deeper understanding of the eco-epidemiology of VL by associating environmental and climatic variables with disease prevalence. The RS, the GARP model and the GDD-WB model, using different analysis approaches and with the same human prevalence database, predicted similar …

Relating generalized and specific modeling in population dynamical systems
In dieser Arbeit werden zwei neue Spezialgebiete der Populationsdynamik mit Hilfe eines verallgemeinerten Modellierungsansatzes untersucht: stoichiometrische und öko-epidemiologische Populationsmodelle. Die stoichiometrischen Populationsmodelle berücksichtigen, dass Primärproduzenten in der Regel …

Social and ecological risk factors for mosquito production in residential neighborhoods
… composition are determined by the interaction of ecological and social factors. This dissertation examines both ecological and social factors that affect mosquito populations to elucidate which factors drive mosquito production in residential neighborhoods in the midwestern United States. In …
