Tick infestation and tick-borne disease spread in a region of multiple adjacent patches with different environmental conditions depend heavily on the host mobility and patch-specific suitability for tick growth. Here we introduce a two-patch model where environmental conditions differ in patches and yield different tick developmental delays, and where feeding adult ticks can be dispersed by the movement of larger mammal hosts. We obtain a coupled system of four delay differential equations with two delays, and we examine how the dynamical behaviours depend on patch-specific basic reproduction numbers and host mobility by using singular perturbation analyses and monotone dynamical systems theory. Our theoretical results and numerical simulations provide useful insights for tick population control strategies.
