Who acquires infection from whom and how? Disentangling multi-host and multi-mode transmission dynamics in the 'elimination' era (2017)
Journal Article
Webster, J. P., Borlase, A. M., & Rudge, J. W. (2017). Who acquires infection from whom and how? Disentangling multi-host and multi-mode transmission dynamics in the 'elimination' era. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 372(1719), https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2016.0091

Multi-host infectious agents challenge our abilities to understand, predict and manage disease dynamics. Within this, many infectious agents are also able to use, simultaneously or sequentially, multiple modes of transmission. Furthermore, the relati...

The evolution of transmission mode (2017)
Journal Article
Antonovics, J., Wilson, A. J., Forbes, M. R., Hauffe, H. C., Kallio, E. R., Leggett, H. C., Longdon, B., Okamura, B., Sait, S., & Webster, J. P. (2017). The evolution of transmission mode. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 372(1719), https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2016.0083

This article reviews research on the evolutionary mechanisms leading to different transmission modes. Such modes are often under genetic control of the host or the pathogen, and often in conflict with each other via trade-offs. Transmission modes may...

Surveillance strategies for Classical Swine Fever in wild boar – a comprehensive evaluation study to ensure powerful surveillance (2017)
Journal Article
Schulz, K., Peyre, M., Staubach, C., Schauer, B., Schulz, J., Calba, C., Haesler, B., & Conraths, F. J. (2017). Surveillance strategies for Classical Swine Fever in wild boar – a comprehensive evaluation study to ensure powerful surveillance. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep43871

Surveillance of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) should not only focus on livestock, but must also include wild boar. To prevent disease transmission into commercial pig herds, it is therefore vital to have knowledge about the disease status in wild boar....

Development of the cat-owner relationship scale (CORS) (2017)
Journal Article
Howell, T. J., Bowen, J., Fatjó, J., Calvo, P., Holloway, A., & Bennett, P. C. (2017). Development of the cat-owner relationship scale (CORS). Behavioural Processes, 141, 305-315. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2017.02.024

Characteristics of the human-animal bond can be influenced by both owner-related and pet-related factors, which likely differ between species. Three studies adapted the Monash Dog-Owner Relationship Scale (MDORS) to permit assessment of human-cat int... Read More about Development of the cat-owner relationship scale (CORS).

Modelling the elimination of river blindness using long-term epidemiological and programmatic data from Mali and Senegal (2017)
Journal Article

Modelling the elimination of river blindness using long-term epidemiological and programmatic data from Mali and Senegal. Epidemics, 18, 4-15. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epidem.2017.02.005

The onchocerciasis transmission models EPIONCHO and ONCHOSIM have been independently developed and used to explore the feasibility of eliminating onchocerciasis from Africa with mass (annual or biannual) distribution of ivermectin within the timefram...
