Journal Article
Knowles, S. C. L., Sturrock, H. J. W., Turner, H., Whitton, J. M., Gower, C. M., Jemu, S., …Fleming, F. M. (2017). Optimising cluster survey design for planning schistosomiasis preventive chemotherapy. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 11(5), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0005599

We used baseline schistosomiasis mapping surveys from three countries (Malawi, Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia) to generate spatially realistic gold standard datasets, against which we tested alternative two-stage cluster survey designs. We assessed how sa... Read More about Optimising cluster survey design for planning schistosomiasis preventive chemotherapy.

Dystocia can represent a major welfare issue for dogs of certain breeds and morphologies. First-opinion emergency-care veterinary caseloads represent a useful data resource for epidemiological research because dystocia can often result in emergency v...

Drivers and risk factors for Influenza A virus transmission across species barriers are poorly understood, despite the ever present threat to human and animal health potentially on a pandemic scale. Here we review the published evidence for epidemiol... Read More about Epidemiological Risk Factors for Animal Influenza A Viruses Overcoming Species Barriers.
