Disease-driven reduction in human mobility influences human-mosquito contacts and dengue transmission dynamics
Disease-driven reduction in human mobility influences human-mosquito contacts and dengue transmission dynamics
Heterogeneous exposure to mosquitoes determines an individual’s contribution to vector-borne pathogen transmission. Particularly for dengue virus (DENV), there is a major difficulty in quantifying human-vector contacts due to the unknown coupled effect of key heterogeneities. To test the hypothesis that the reduction of human out-of-home mobility due to dengue illness …
