Journal Article
Gower, C. M., Gehre, F., Marques, S. R., Lamberton, P. H. L., Lwambo, N. J., & Webster, J. P. (2017). Phenotypic and genotypic monitoring of Schistosoma mansoni in Tanzanian schoolchildren five years into a preventative chemotherapy national control programme. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-017-2533-6

We conducted combined in vitro PZQ efficacy testing with population genetic analyses of S. mansoni collected from children from two schools in 2010, five years after the introduction of a National Control Programme. Children at one school had receive...

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., …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...

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...
