Modeling the Influence of Questing Behavior and Host Availability on Tick Population Dynamics
A discrete-time tick–host model with ratio-dependent host attachment yields a stable tick equilibrium when the reproductive number Rd = rS/K exceeds 1, an always-unstable 2-cycle, and questing behavior c that shifts regional abundance.
