Fine-scale variation in vector host use and force of infection drive localized patterns of West Nile virus transmission.

The influence of host diversity on multi-host pathogen transmission and persistence can be confounded by the large number of species and biological interactions that can characterize many transmission systems. For vector-borne pathogens, the composition of host communities has been hypothesized to a...
