Transmission of West Nile and five other temperate mosquito-borne viruses peaks at temperatures between 23 C and 26 C

MS Shocket, AB Verwillow, MG Numazu, H Slamani… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
The temperature-dependence of many important mosquito-borne diseases has never been
quantified. These relationships are critical for understanding current distributions and …

Thermal biology of mosquito‐borne disease

…, JR Rohr, SJ Ryan, V Savage, MS Shocket… - Ecology …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Mosquito‐borne diseases cause a major burden of disease worldwide. The vital rates of
these ectothermic vectors and parasites respond strongly and nonlinearly to temperature and …

Temperature drives epidemics in a zooplankton-fungus disease system: A trait-driven approach points to transmission via host foraging

MS Shocket, AT Strauss, JL Hite… - The American …, 2018 - journals.uchicago.edu
Climatic warming will likely have idiosyncratic impacts on infectious diseases, causing some
to increase while others decrease or shift geographically. A mechanistic framework could …

Habitat, predators, and hosts regulate disease in Daphnia through direct and indirect pathways

AT Strauss, MS Shocket, DJ Civitello… - Ecological …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Community ecology can link habitat to disease via interactions among habitat, focal hosts,
other hosts, their parasites, and predators. However, complicated food web interactions (ie, …

[HTML][HTML] Detecting the impact of temperature on transmission of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya using mechanistic models

…, SJ Ryan, V Savage, MS Shocket… - PLoS neglected …, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Recent epidemics of Zika, dengue, and chikungunya have heightened the need to understand
the seasonal and geographic range of transmission by Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus …

[HTML][HTML] How will mosquitoes adapt to climate warming?

…, ML Childs, MJ Harris, DG Kirk, N Nova, M Shocket… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
The potential for adaptive evolution to enable species persistence under a changing climate
is one of the most important questions for understanding impacts of future climate change. …

Temperature explains broad patterns of Ross River virus transmission

MS Shocket, SJ Ryan, EA Mordecai - Elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.37762.001 Thermal biology predicts that vector-borne disease transmission
peaks at intermediate temperatures and declines at high and low temperatures. However, …
