What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “Resource pulses commonly increase the density of consumer populations, potentially increasing the transmission of many parasites and diseases (Dobson and Meagher 1996, Jones et al. 1998, Miller et al. 2003, Altizer et al. 2006).”
Avian malaria Plasmodium relictum in native Hawaiian forest birds: epizootiology and demographic impacts on 'apapane Himatione sanguinea. (2010, background): “…and annual dynamics of malaria and impact on the àpapane population because seasonality is likely in this system as in other host-pathogen systems and understanding the timing and causes of seasonality provides insights on how disease systems operate (Altizer et al. 2006, Cosgrove et al. 2008).”
Captive and free-living red knots Calidris canutus exhibit differences in non-induced immunity that suggest different immune strategies in different environments (2008, background): “This may be especially true during migration when large aggregations of birds make disease transmission easier (Altizer et al. 2006).”
The spread of invasive species and infectious disease as drivers of ecosystem change (2008, background): “New modeling approaches incorporate climatic variability (Altizer et al. 2006), hydrologic dynamics (Shaman et al.”
The role of constraints and limitation in driving individual variation in immune response (2011, background): “Lastly, seasonal variation can occur through temporal variation in disease threats (Altizer et al. 2006; Travers et al. 2008).”
Delay-induced chaos and its possible control in a seasonally forced eco-epidemiological model with fear effect and predator switching (2021, background): “Therefore, it is more realistic to consider the system parameters such as the level of fear, effectual infection rate and predator’s feeding preferences to be seasonally forced [41,42].”
More rapid and severe disease outbreaks for aquaculture at the tropics: implications for food security (2013, background): “Extreme weather events are predicted to become more severe and more frequent in the future (IPCC 2007) favouring pathogen outbreaks following seasonal periods associated with changes in temperature and precipitation (Altizer et al. 2006).”
The ecology and emergence of diseases in fresh waters (2011, background): “…temperature-mediated changes in pathogen transmission or host immunity also have significant potential to alter patterns of infection and disease in a broad variety of host taxa and freshwater ecosystems (Altizer et al., 2006; Smith & Schindler, 2009; Johnson et al., 2010; Paull and Johnson, 2010).”
Basic Reproduction Ratios for Almost Periodic Compartmental Epidemic Models (2013, background): “As noted in [1], seasonal variations in temperature, rainfall, resource availability, contact rates, the birth and death rates of populations and immune defences are ubiquitous and can exert strong pressures on population dynamics.”
Threshold dynamics in a time-delayed periodic sis epidemic model (2009, background): “We further refer to two surveys [1, 7] and references therein for seasonal fluctuations in epidemic models.”
Invading with biological weapons: the importance of disease‐mediated invasions (2012, background): “Functional Ecology © 2012 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 26, 1249–1261 important drivers of the population and epidemiological dynamics in single host–parasite systems (Altizer et al. 2006; Earn et al. 2000; Childs & Boots 2010; Keeling & Rohani 2008; Tompkins et al. 2011).”
Disease ecology meets ecological immunology: understanding the links between organismal immunity and infection dynamics in natural populations (2011, background): “Many vertebrate pathogens show seasonal changes in incidence (reviewed in Altizer et al. 2006).”
