Asymmetric Biotic Interactions Cannot Be Inferred Without Accounting for Priority Effects

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2024.
This study explores the influential role of priority effects, that is, the order of habitat colonisation, in shaping our ability to detect asymmetric biotic interactions. Using a simple set of simulations, we demonstrate that common approaches to detect interactions from cross‐sectional binary co‐occurrence data alone cannot make reliable inferences ...

Coxiella burnetii serostatus in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) is associated with the presence of C. burnetii DNA in attached ticks in Laikipia County, Kenya

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 503-514, August 2024.
Abstract Aims Q fever is a globally distributed, neglected zoonotic disease of conservation and public health importance, caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Coxiella burnetii normally causes subclinical infections in livestock, but may also cause reproductive pathology and spontaneous abortions in artiodactyl species.

Infection of Mice with the Agent of Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis after Different Routes of Inoculation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Population kinetics of the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (aoHGE) were examined after needle and tickborne inoculation of C3H mice. Blood, skin, lung, spleen, liver, kidney, brain, lymph node, and bone marrow samples were analyzed by using real-
