Persistence of pathogens with short infectious periods in seasonal tick populations: the relative importance of three transmission routes.
The flaviviruses causing tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) persist at low but consistent levels in tick populations, despite short infectious periods in their mammalian hosts and transmission periods constrained by distinctly seasonal tick life cycles. In addition to systemic and vertical transmission,...
