A patchy model for the spatial spread of West Nile virus is formulated and analyzed. The basic reproduction number is calculated and com- pared for different long-range dispersal patterns of birds, and simulations are carried out to demonstrate discontinuous or jump spatial spread of the virus when the birds' long-range dispersal dominates the nearest neighborhood interaction and diffusion of mosquitoes and birds.
建立并分析了西尼罗河病毒空间传播的斑状模型。计算并比较了不同鸟类长距离扩散模式的基本再生数,并进行了模拟,以演示当鸟类长距离扩散主导蚊子和鸟类的最近邻相互作用和扩散时,病毒的不连续或跳跃式空间传播。
