Impact of host age on viral and bacterial communities in a waterbird population (2022)
Journal Article
Hill, S. C., François, S., Thézé, J., Smith, A., Simmonds, P., Perrins, C., Van Der Hoek, L., & Pybus, O. (in press). Impact of host age on viral and bacterial communities in a waterbird population. ISME Journal,

Wildlife harbour pathogens that can harm human or livestock health and are the source of most emerging infectious diseases. It is rarely considered how changes in wildlife population age-structures or how age-stratified behaviours might alter the lev...

Exploring why animal health practices are (not) adopted among smallholders in low and middle-income countries: a realist framework and scoping review protocol. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 9, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2022.915487

Background Improving livestock health is considered critical to address poverty, malnutrition and food insecurity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Modifications of livestock management practices is also increasingly recognized as an impor...

Tuberculosis has severe impacts in both humans and animals. Understanding the genetic basis of survival of both Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the human adapted species, and Mycobacterium bovis, the animal adapted species is crucial to deciphering the b...
