Avian roosting behavior influences vector-host interactions for West Nile virus hosts
Abstract Background Extensive work has shown that vectors almost never feed at random. Often, a subset of individual hosts and host species are fed on much more frequently than expected from their abundance and this can amplify pathogen transmission. However, the drivers of variation in contact patt...
