Diagnosis of tuberculosis in groups of badgers: an exploration of the impact of trapping efficiency, infection prevalence and the use of multiple tests (2016)
Journal Article
Buzdugan, S. N., Chambers, M. A., Delahay, R. J., & Drewe, J. A. (2016). Diagnosis of tuberculosis in groups of badgers: an exploration of the impact of trapping efficiency, infection prevalence and the use of multiple tests. Epidemiology and Infection, 144(8), 1717-1727. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0950268815003210

Accurate detection of infection with Mycobacterium bovis in live badgers would enable targeted tuberculosis control. Practical challenges in sampling wild badger populations mean that diagnosis of infection at the group (rather than the individual) l...

Beyond aggression: Androgen-receptor blockade modulates social interaction in wild meerkats (2016)
Journal Article
DelBarco-Trillo, J., Greene, L. K., Goncalves, I. B., Fenkes, M., Wisse, J. H., Drewe, J. A., Manser, M. B., Clutton-Brock, T., & Drea, C. M. (2016). Beyond aggression: Androgen-receptor blockade modulates social interaction in wild meerkats. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yhbeh.2015.11.001

In male vertebrates, androgens are inextricably linked to reproduction, social dominance, and aggression, often at the cost of paternal investment or prosociality. Testosterone is invoked to explain rank-related reproductive differences, but its role... Read More about Beyond aggression: Androgen-receptor blockade modulates social interaction in wild meerkats.

SERVAL: A New Framework for the Evaluation of Animal Health Surveillance (2015)
Journal Article
Drewe, J. A., Hoinville, L. J., Cook, A. J. C., Floyd, T., Gunn, G., & Staerk, K. D. C. (2015). SERVAL: A New Framework for the Evaluation of Animal Health Surveillance. Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 62(1), 33-45. https://doi.org/10.1111/tbed.12063

Animal health surveillance programmes may change in response to altering requirements or perceived weaknesses but are seldom subjected to any formal evaluation to ensure that they provide valuable information in an efficient manner. The literature on... Read More about SERVAL: A New Framework for the Evaluation of Animal Health Surveillance.

The RISKSUR EVA Tool (Survtool): a tool for the integrated evaluation of animal health surveillance systems
Journal Article
Peyre, M., Hoinville, L., Njoroge, J., Cameron, A., Traon, D., Goutard, F., Calba, C., Grosbois, V., Delabouglise, A., Varant, V., Drewe, J., Pfeiffer, D. U., & Haesler, B. (in press). The RISKSUR EVA Tool (Survtool): a tool for the integrated evaluation of animal health surveillance systems. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 173, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2019.104777

Information about infectious diseases at the global level relies on effective, efficient and sustainable national and international surveillance systems. Surveillance systems need to be regularly evaluated to ensure their effectiveness, the quality o...
