Health surveillance of a potential bridge host: Pathogen exposure risks posed to avian populations augmented with captive‐bred pheasants

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 1095-1107, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Augmentation of wild populations with captive‐bred individuals presents an inherent risk of co‐introducing novel pathogens to naïve species, but it can be an important tool for supplementing small or declining populations. Game species used for human enterprise and recreation such as the ring‐necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) are commonly ...

Microbiome influence on host community dynamics: Conceptual integration of microbiome feedback with classical host–microbe theory

Ecology Letters, Volume 24, Issue 12, Page 2796-2811, December 2021., 2021
Microbiome influence on host ecology has been investigated using classical ecological theory which represent mechanistic interactions, but are difficult to evaluate empirically. Alternatively, host–microbiome feedback theory represents microbiome dynamics impacts on host fitness as simple net effects, but are easily amenable to experimental evaluation.

Gastrointestinal parasitic infection in the hazel grouse Tetrastes bonasia in France

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2021, Issue 2, Page 1-6, 2021., 2021
The hazel grouse Tetrastes bonasia is a Galliformes species of major conservation interest and threatened throughout Europe. However, little information is currently available on its sanitary status both in the Alps and worldwide. Considering that gastrointestinal parasites are one of the factors negatively impacting on Galliformes population dynamics,

Diurnal variation in egg excretion by Heterakis gallinarum

Parasitology, 2018
AbstractPeriodicity in nematode egg excretion may be of evolutionary origin as it can favour dispersal of the eggs in the environment. We investigated whether egg excretion by Heterakis gallinarum shows a repeatable pattern of periodicity. The faecal egg concentration and total number of eggs excreted within 4-h intervals were significantly affected by
