Modeling the effects of variable feeding patterns of larval ticks on the transmission of Borrelia lusitaniae and Borrelia afzelii
Luca Ferreri, Silvia Perazzo, Ezio Venturino +3
Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdoferi sensu lato (sl) group cause Lyme Borreliosis (LB), which is the most commonly reported vector-borne zoonosis in Europe. B. burgdorf…
Non-systemic transmission of tick-borne diseases: a network approach
Luca Ferreri, Paolo Bajardi, Mario Giacobini
Tick-Borne diseases can be transmitted via non-systemic (NS) transmission. This occurs when tick gets the infection by co-feeding with infected ticks on the same host resulting in…
Pattern of tick aggregation on mice: larger than expected distribution tail enhances the spread of tick-borne pathogens
Luca Ferreri, Mario Giacobini, Paolo Bajardi +5
The spread of tick-borne pathogens represents an important threat to human and animal health in many parts of Eurasia. Here, we analysed a 9-year time series of Ixodes ricinus tick…
Interplay of network dynamics and ties heterogeneity on spreading dynamics
Luca Ferreri, Paolo Bajardi, Mario Giacobini +2
The structure of a network dramatically affects the spreading phenomena unfolding upon it. The contact distribution of the nodes has long been recognized as the key ingredient in i…
Analytical computation of the epidemic threshold on temporal networks
Eugenio Valdano, Luca Ferreri, Chiara Poletto +1
The time variation of contacts in a networked system may fundamentally alter the properties of spreading processes and affect the condition for large-scale propagation, as encoded…
