Hybridization of infectious agents is a major emerging public and veterinary health concern at the interface of evolution, epidemiology, and control. Whilst evidence of the extent of hybridization amongst parasites is increasing, their impact on morb...

Zoonotic spillover and hybridization of parasites are major emerging public and veterinary health concerns at the interface of infectious disease biology, evolution, and control. Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease of global importance ca...

Whole-genome sequencing of Schistosoma mansoni reveals extensive diversity with limited selection despite mass drug administration (2021)
Journal Article
Berger, D., Crellen, T., Lamberton, P., Allan, F., Tracey, A., Noonan, J., Kabatereine, N., Tukahebwa, E., Adriko, M., Holroyd, N., Webster, J., Berriman, M., & Cotton, J. (2021).

Nature Communications, 12(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24958-0

Control and elimination of the parasitic disease schistosomiasis relies on mass administration of praziquantel. Whilst these programmes reduce infection prevalence and intensity, their impact on parasite transmission and evolution is poorly understoo...

Surveillance and control of SARS-CoV-2 in mustelids: An evolutionary perspective (2021)
Journal Article
Diaz, A., Walker, M., & Webster, J. (2021). Surveillance and control of SARS-CoV-2 in mustelids: An evolutionary perspective. Evolutionary Applications, https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13310

The relevance of mustelids in SARS-CoV-2 transmission has become increasingly evident. Alongside experimental demonstration of airborne transmission among ferrets, the major animal model for human respiratory diseases, transmission of SARS-CoV-2 with...
