Journal Article
Kock, R. A., Orynbayev, M., Robinson, S., Zuther, S., Singh, N. J., Beauvais, W., …Milner-Gulland, E. (2018). Saigas on the brink: Multidisciplinary analysis of the factors influencing mass mortality events. Science Advances, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aao2314

In 2015, more than 200,000 saiga antelopes died in 3 weeks in central Kazakhstan. The proximate cause of death is confirmed as hemorrhagic septicemia caused by the bacterium Pasteurella multocida type B, based on multiple strands of evidence. Statist...

Wildlife-livestock interactions and risk areas for cross-species spread of bovine tuberculosis (2017)
Journal Article
Meunier, N. V., Sebulime, P., White, R. G., & Kock, R. A. (2017). Wildlife-livestock interactions and risk areas for cross-species spread of bovine tuberculosis. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 84(1), a1221. https://doi.org/10.4102/ojvr.v84i1.1221

The transmission of diseases between livestock and wildlife can be a hindrance to effective disease control. Maintenance hosts and contact rates should be explored to further understand the transmission dynamics at the wildlife-livestock interface. B...
