Outbreaks of Hantavirus induced by seasonality
B2 arXiv preprint server (q-bio) · 2003-03-27 · United States
Using a model for rodent population dynamics, we study outbreaks of Hantavirus infection induced by the alternation of seasons. Neither season by itself satisfies the environmental requirements for propagation of the disease. This result can be explained in terms of the seasonal interruption of the relaxation process of the mouse population toward equilibrium, and may shed light on the reported connection between climate variations and outbreaks of the dise ase.
