Exploring Eimeria Genomes to Understand Population Biology: Recent Progress and Future Opportunities (2020)
Journal Article
Blake, D. P., Worthing, K., & Jenkins, M. C. (2020). Exploring Eimeria Genomes to Understand Population Biology: Recent Progress and Future Opportunities. Genes, 11(9),

Eimeria, protozoan parasites from the phylum Apicomplexa, can cause the enteric disease coccidiosis in all farmed animals. Coccidiosis is commonly considered to be most significant in poultry; due in part to the vast number of chickens produced in th...

Basic Reproduction Number of Chikungunya Virus Transmitted by Aedes Mosquitoes (2020)
Journal Article
Haider, N., Vairo, F., Ippolito, G., Zumla, A., & Kock, R. (2020). Basic Reproduction Number of Chikungunya Virus Transmitted by Aedes Mosquitoes. Emerging Infectious Disease, 26(10), 2429-2431

We estimated the weighted mean basic reproduction number (R0) of chikungunya virus based on outbreak size. R0 was 3.4 (95% CI 2.4–4.2) and varied for 2 primary chi- kungunya mosquito vectors: 4.1 (95% CI 1.5–6.6) for Ae- des aegypti and 2.8 (95% CI 1...

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 11, 513536. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2020.513536

The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, can infect all warm-blooded animals. T. gondii can subtly alter host behaviors—either through manipulation to enhance transmission to the feline definitive host or as...
