Bridge hosts, a missing link for disease ecology in multi-host systems

Author: Caron, Alexandre ; Cappelle, Julien ; Cumming, Graeme ; de Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel ; Gaidet, Nicolas Date: 2015 In ecology, the grouping of species into functional groups has played a valuable role in simplifying ecological complexity. In epidemiology, further clarifications of epidemiological functions are needed: while host roles may be defined, they ... Read more c b
Investigating avian influenza infection hotspots in old-world shorebirds

Author: Gaidet, Nicolas ; Mamy, Ahmed B Ould El ; Cappelle, Julien ; Caron, Alexandre ; Cumming, Graeme S ; Grosbois, Vladimir ; Gil, Patricia ; Hammoumi, Saliha ; de Almeida, Renata Servan ; Fereidouni, Sasan R Date: 2012 Heterogeneity in the transmission rates of pathogens across hosts or environments may produce disease hotspots, which are defined as specific sites, times or species associations in which the infection rate is consistently elevated. Hotspots ... Read more c b
Linking avian communities and avian influenza ecology in southern Africa using epidemiological functional groups

Author: Caron, Alexandre ; de Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel ; Ndlovu, Mduduzi ; Cumming, Graeme S Date: 26 Oct 2012 The ecology of pathogens, and particularly their emergence in multi-host systems, is complex. New approaches are needed to reduce superficial complexities to a level that still allows scientists to analyse underlying and more fundamental ... Read more c b
