Toward Improving Interventions Against Toxoplasmosis by Identifying Routes of Transmission Using Sporozoite- specific Serological Tools (2020)
Journal Article
Walker, M., Webster, J. P., & Milne, G. (2020). Toward Improving Interventions Against Toxoplasmosis by Identifying Routes of Transmission Using Sporozoite- specific Serological Tools. Clinical Infectious Diseases, https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciaa428

Background. Horizontal transmission of Toxoplasma gondii occurs primarily via ingestion of environmental oocysts or con- sumption of undercooked/raw meat containing cyst-stage bradyzoites. The relative importance of these 2 transmission routes remain...

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., …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., …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...

Journal Article
Jones, B. A., Mahapatra, M., Chubwa, C., Clarke, B., Batten, C., Hicks, H., …Parida, S. (2020). Characterisation of Peste Des Petits Ruminants Disease in Pastoralist Flocks in Ngorongoro District of Northern Tanzania and Bluetongue Virus Co-Infection. Viruses, 12(4), 389. https://doi.org/10.3390/v12040389

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) disease was first confirmed in Tanzania in 2008 in sheep and goats in Ngorongoro District, northern Tanzania, and is now endemic in this area. This study aimed to characterise PPR disease in pastoralist small ruminant...
