Outbreak severity of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) viruses is inversely correlated to polymerase complex activity and interferon induction (2020)
Journal Article
Vigeveno, R. M., Poen, M. J., Parker, E., Holwerda, M., de Haan, K., van Montfort, T., Lewis, N. S., Russell, C. A., Fouchier, R. A., de Jong, M. D., & Eggink, D. (2020). Outbreak severity of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) viruses is inversely correlated to polymerase complex activity and interferon induction. Journal of Virology, https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00375-20

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) viruses first emerged in China in 2010 and in 2014 spread throughout Asia and to Europe and The United States via migrating birds. Influenza A(H5N8) viruses were first detected in the Netherlands in 2014 and...

An individual-based model to assess the spatial and individual heterogeneity of Brucella melitensis transmission in Alpine ibex (2020)
Journal Article
Lambert, S., Gilot-Fromont, E., Toïgo, C., Marchand, P., Petit, E., Garin-Bastuji, B., Gauthier, D., Gaillard, J.-M., Rossi, S., & Thébault, A. (2020). An individual-based model to assess the spatial and individual heterogeneity of Brucella melitensis transmission in Alpine ibex. Ecological Modelling, 425, 109009. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2020.109009

Heterogeneity of infectious disease transmission can be generated by individual differences in the frequency of contacts with susceptible individuals, in the ability to transmit the infectious agent or in the duration of infection, and by spatial var...

Minimally Invasive Markers of Stress and Production Parameters in Dairy Cows before and after the Installation of a Voluntary Milking System (2020)
Journal Article
Jerram, L. J., Van Winden, S. C. L., & Fowkes, R. C. (2020). Minimally Invasive Markers of Stress and Production Parameters in Dairy Cows before and after the Installation of a Voluntary Milking System. Animals, 10(4), 589. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani10040589

Automatic milking systems (AMS) are a low-labour alternative to conventional parlours, with previous studies demonstrating that cows vary in their ability to cope with the change to AMS. Cortisol expression can be combined with other measures to asse...

Science, eabb4218. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abb4218

The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak expanded rapidly throughout China. Major behavioral, clinical, and state interventions have been undertaken to mitigate the epidemic and prevent the persistence of the virus in human populations in China and worldwide. I...
