Journal Article
Hill, S. C., François, S., Thézé, J., Smith, A., Simmonds, P., Perrins, C., …Pybus, O. (in press). Impact of host age on viral and bacterial communities in a waterbird population. ISME Journal,

Wildlife harbour pathogens that can harm human or livestock health and are the source of most emerging infectious diseases. It is rarely considered how changes in wildlife population age-structures or how age-stratified behaviours might alter the lev...
