Transmission dynamics of an iridescent virus in an experimental mosquito population: the role of host density.

1. The transmission of insect pathogens cannot be adequately described by direct linear functions of host and pathogen density due to heterogeneity generated from behavioural or physiological traits, or from the spatial distribution of pathogen particles. Invertebrate iridescent viruses (IIVs) can c...
