Research project funded by NIAID to study the impact of tick phenology on disease transmission dynamics, including modeling and empirical validation with data from natural field sites.
Description
The project investigates how tick seasonal activity patterns influence the transmission of human pathogens carried by black-legged ticks. It aims to develop and validate analytical, computational, and statistical models incorporating tick seasonality to understand disease dynamics and risk.
