Abstract

The distribution of ticks is essentially determined by the presence of climatic conditions and ecological contexts suitable for their survival and development. We build a model that explicitly takes into account each physiological state through a system of infinite differential equations where tick population density are structured on an infinite discrete set. We suppose that intrastage development process is temperature dependent (Arrhenius temperatures function) and that larvae hatching and adult mortality are temperature and water vapor deficit dependent. We analysed mathematically the model and have explicit the [Formula: see text] of the tick population.

Keywords: Basic reproduction number; Differential equation model; Positive operators; Quasi-compactness; Spectral theory; Temperature; Tick life-cycle growth model; Ticks life-cycle model.
