Abstract
We study the disease-spreading dynamics of the West Nile virus (WNv) epidemic model under shifting climatic conditions. A WNv epidemic model is developed incorporating a shifting net growth term to depict the evolving mosquito habitat. First, we comprehensively characterize the spreading dynamics of mosquitoes for any given climate change speed compared with the intrinsic spreading speed of mosquitoes. Utilizing the results from mosquito dynamics, we determine the spreading dynamics of infected birds and mosquitoes, taking into account relationships among the shifting speed and the spreading speeds of mosquito and WNv. Ultimately, we find that infected mosquitoes and birds propagate, and their population densities converge to a stable positive endemic state. This paper provides crucial insights into the impact of climate change on the spread of vector-borne diseases such as WNv.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
