DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3494
Abstract: Ecological and environmental factors can influence the transmission of infectious diseases. They can accomplish this via effects on host susceptibility and exposure to infection, which are governed by host physiology and behavior, respectively. To better… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epidem.2018.03.001
Abstract: We will inevitably face new epidemics where the lack of long time-series data and the uncertainty about the outbreak dynamics make difficult to obtain quantitative predictions. Here we present an algorithm to qualitatively infer time-varying… read more here.

Parasite-mediated host behavioural modifications: Gyrodactylus turnbulli infected Trinidadian guppies increase contact rates with uninfected conspecifics

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182017001950
Abstract: Abstract While group formation provides antipredatory defences, increases foraging efficiency and mating opportunities, it can be counterintuitive by promoting disease transmission amongst social hosts. Upon introduction of a pathogen, uninfected individuals often modify their social… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0950268822000851
Abstract: Abstract Backyard chickens are increasingly popular, and their husbandry varies widely. How backyard chickens are housed may influence the accessibility of chicken feed and water to wild birds, and thus, the contact rates between both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/acps.13553
Abstract: Self-harm including self-poisonings is a major health problem among young girls, and there is a concern that the mobility restrictions and social distancing associated with the Covid-19 pandemic may have further reinforced this. Studies examining… read more here.
