Predicted Impact of COVID-19 on Neglected Tropical Disease Programs and the Opportunity for Innovation (2020)
Journal Article
Toor, J., Adams, E. R., Aliee, M., Amoah, B., Anderson, R. M., Ayabina, D., …Hollingsworth, T. D. (2020). Predicted Impact of COVID-19 on Neglected Tropical Disease Programs and the Opportunity for Innovation. Clinical Infectious Diseases, https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciaa933

Abstract Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many key neglected tropical disease (NTD) activities have been postponed. This hindrance comes at a time when the NTDs are progressing towards their ambitious goals for 2030. Mathematical modelling on several NT...

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...
