DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5785
Abstract: Abstract Understanding what processes drive community structure is fundamental to ecology. Many wild animals are simultaneously infected by multiple parasite species, so host–parasite communities can be valuable tools for investigating connections between community structures at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8776
Abstract: Abstract Rodents often act as important hosts for ticks and as pathogen reservoirs. At northern latitudes, rodents often undergo multi‐annual population cycles, and the periodic absence of certain hosts may inhibit the survival and recruitment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ijc.31729
Abstract: Cancer survival is an important indicator for quality of cancer care. We sought to determine if there are differences in cancer survival between immigrants and the host population in Norway. We performed a nationwide registry‐based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-017-1170-1
Abstract: Most existing models have considered the immunological processes occurring within the host and the epidemiological processes occurring at population level as decoupled systems. We present a new model using continuous systems of non linear ordinary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/pas0000814
Abstract: The testing of measurement invariance (MI) across different cultural backgrounds for short screeners of mental health has been mostly neglected. Therefore, we examined MI in the most common mental health screeners worldwide used to assess… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/0284186x.2019.1711167
Abstract: Abstract Background: There are concerns about timely access to appropriate cancer treatment for the growing immigrant population in Norway. This study aims to compare waiting times between cancer diagnosis and start of cancer treatment, as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsif.2020.0105
Abstract: The evolution of multidrug antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria is an important public health concern. Commensal bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae or Staphylococcus aureus, are also opportunistic pathogens causing a large fraction of… read more here.
