Mosquito-borne diseases such as Dengue, Zika, and West Nile virus involve transmission processes that span multiple biological scales, from viral dynamics within the host and vector to population-level spread. While multiscale models have the potential to capture...

When a mosquito takes blood from an infected host, the virus must cross several biological barriers inside the insect before it can be transmitted to a new host. This process, known as the extrinsic incubation period (EIP), is a key driver of vector-borne disease...

In 2016, classical contagious Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) was detected for the first time in Europe in wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in Norway. One reindeer population of around 2,000 animals was culled, but the disease later reappeared in another, larger and...
