Peste des petits ruminants virus infection at the wildlife-livestock interface in the Greater Serengeti ecosystem, 2015-2019 (2021)
Journal Article
Jones, B. A., Mahapatra, M., Mdetele, D., Keyyu, J., Gakuya, F., Eblate, E., …Kock, R. (2021). Peste des petits ruminants virus infection at the wildlife-livestock interface in the Greater Serengeti ecosystem, 2015-2019. Viruses,

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a viral disease of goats and sheep that occurs in Africa, the Middle East and Asia with severe impact on livelihoods and livestock trade. Many wild artiodactyls are susceptible to PPR virus (PPRV) infection, and so...

Possible Drivers of the 2019 Dengue Outbreak in Bangladesh: The Need for a Robust Community-Level Surveillance System (2020)
Journal Article
Ahsan, A., Haider, N., Kock, R., Benfield, C., & Reisen, W. (2020). Possible Drivers of the 2019 Dengue Outbreak in Bangladesh: The Need for a Robust Community-Level Surveillance System. Journal of Medical Entomology, https://doi.org/10.1093/jme/tjaa150

Bangladesh experienced its largest dengue virus (DENV) outbreak in 2019, with 101,354 patients admitted to hospital with either laboratory confirmed or clinical diagnosis. By contrast, the cumulative number of dengue patients admitted to hospitals in...

Eradication of peste des petits ruminants virus and the wildlife-livestock interface (2020)
Journal Article
Fine, A. E., Pruvot, M., Benfield, C. T. O., Caron, A., Cattoli, G., Chardonnet, P., …Njeumi, F. (2020). Eradication of peste des petits ruminants virus and the wildlife-livestock interface. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 7(50), https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2020.00050

Growing evidence suggests that multiple wildlife species can be infected with peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), with important consequences for the potential maintenance of PPRV in communities of susceptible hosts, and the threat that PPRV may...

The Genetics of Life and Death: Virus-Host Interactions Underpinning Resistance to African Swine Fever, a Viral Hemorrhagic Disease
Journal Article
Netherton, C. L., Connell, S., Benfield, C. T. O., & Dixon, L. K. (in press). The Genetics of Life and Death: Virus-Host Interactions Underpinning Resistance to African Swine Fever, a Viral Hemorrhagic Disease. Frontiers in Genetics, https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2019.00402

Pathogen transmission from wildlife hosts to genetically distinct species is a major driver of disease emergence. African swine fever virus (ASFV) persists in sub-Saharan Africa through a sylvatic cycle between warthogs and soft ticks that infest the...
