Metatranscriptomic profiling reveals diverse tick‐borne bacteria, protozoans and viruses in ticks and wildlife from Australia

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2389-e2407, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Tick‐borne zoonoses are emerging globally due to changes in climate and land use. While the zoonotic threats associated with ticks are well studied elsewhere, in Australia, the diversity of potentially zoonotic agents carried by ticks and their significance to human and animal health is not sufficiently understood.

Unravelling another mystery: Parasite escape and host‐switching vary spatially in non‐indigenous populations of Japanese mystery snails

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 1316-1332, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Due to anthropogenic mechanisms, global freshwater biodiversity is declining, and non‐indigenous species are consistently cited as a major threat to native ecosystems. In particular, exotic freshwater gastropods and their parasites have invaded ecosystems through deliberate introductions and/or accidental transfer.
