Evaluating Effects of AIV Infection Status on Ducks Using a Flow Cytometry-Based Differential Blood Count

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Ducks have recently received a lot of attention from the research community due to their importance as natural reservoirs of avian influenza virus (AIV). Still, there is a lack of tools to efficiently determine the immune status of ducks.

Temporal dynamics of antibody level against Lyme disease bacteria in roe deer: Tale of a sentinel?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Changes in the risk of exposure to infectious disease agents can be tracked through variations in antibody prevalence in vertebrate host populations. However, information on the temporal dynamics of the immune status of individuals is critical.

Antimicrobial Resistance in the Global Health Network: Known Unknowns and Challenges for Efficient Responses in the 21st Century

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the Global Health challenges of the 21st century. The inclusion of AMR on the global map parallels the scientific, technological, and organizational progress of the healthcare system and the socioeconomic changes ...

The roles of plant pathogens in old-growth forests

open access: yesBucovina Forestieră, 2022
Old-growth forests are considered a benchmark for naturalness and models to which one compares managed forests, comparison leading to debates around biodiversity and its conservation, structure and dynamics, polarizing conservationists and forest ...

Integrated Approaches and Empirical Models for Investigation of Parasitic Diseases in Northern Wildlife

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
The North is a frontier for exploration of emerging infectious diseases and the large-scale drivers influencing distribution, host associations, and evolution of pathogens among persons, domestic animals, and wildlife.

Urbanization and the ecology of wildlife diseases [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007
Urbanization is intensifying worldwide, with two-thirds of the human population expected to reside in cities within 30 years. The role of cities in human infectious disease is well established, but less is known about how urban landscapes influence wildlife-pathogen interactions. Here, we draw on recent advances in wildlife epidemiology to consider how

Predictions of Disease Risk in Space and Time Based on the Thermal Physiology of an Amphibian Host-Pathogen Interaction

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Emerging infectious diseases have been responsible for declines and extinctions in a growing number of species. Predicting disease variables like infection prevalence and mortality and how they vary in space and time will be critical to understanding how

Three reasons why expanded use of natural enemy solutions may offer sustainable control of human infections

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2022
Many infectious pathogens spend a significant portion of their life cycles in the environment or in animal hosts, where ecological interactions with natural enemies may influence pathogen transmission to people.

Food web structure and microenvironment affect Chagas disease vector infection and abundance in a rural landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Vector‐borne pathogen transmission is shaped by multiple abiotic and biotic factors. Understanding the relative importance of these factors on vector abundance and infection is important for developing vector‐borne disease control strategies.
