Wildlife-livestock interactions and risk areas for cross-species spread of bovine tuberculosis (2017)
Journal Article
Meunier, N. V., Sebulime, P., White, R. G., & Kock, R. A. (2017). Wildlife-livestock interactions and risk areas for cross-species spread of bovine tuberculosis. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 84(1), a1221. https://doi.org/10.4102/ojvr.v84i1.1221

The transmission of diseases between livestock and wildlife can be a hindrance to effective disease control. Maintenance hosts and contact rates should be explored to further understand the transmission dynamics at the wildlife-livestock interface. B...

Taking forward a ‘One Health’ approach for turning the tide against the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus and other zoonotic pathogens with epidemic potential. International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 47, 5-9

The appearance of novel pathogens of humans with epidemic potential and high mortality rates have threatened global health security for centuries. Over the past few decades new zoonotic infectious diseases of humans caused by pathogens arising from a...

Exploring the evidence base for national and regional policy interventions to combat resistance (2016)
Journal Article
Dar, F. K., Littmann, J., Rweyemamu, M., Buckley, E. J., Shahid, M., Kock, R. A., …Heymann, D. L. (2016). Exploring the evidence base for national and regional policy interventions to combat resistance. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736%2815%2900520-6

The effectiveness of existing policies to control antimicrobial resistance is not yet fully understood. A strengthened evidence base is needed to inform effective policy interventions across countries with different income levels and the human health...

Global trends in infectious diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface (2015)
Journal Article
Wiethoelter, A. K., Beltran-Alcrudo, D., Kock, R. A., & Mor, S. M. (2015). Global trends in infectious diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1422741112

The role and significance of wildlife–livestock interfaces in disease ecology has largely been neglected, despite recent interest in animals as origins of emerging diseases in humans. Scoping review methods were applied to objectively assess the rela... Read More about Global trends in infectious diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface.
