Group A rotavirus (RVA) is an important cause of diarrhoea in people, especially children, and animals globally. Due to the segmented nature of the RVA genome, animal RVA strains have the potential to adapt to the human host through reassortment with...

Journal Article
Haider, N., Laaksonen, S., Kjær, L. J., Oksanen, A., & Bødker, R. (in press). The annual, temporal and spatial pattern of Setaria tundra outbreaks in Finnish reindeer: a mechanistic transmission model approach. Parasites and Vectors, 11, Article 565. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-018-3159-z

Background
In northern Finland (Lapland), reindeer are reared as semi-domesticated animals. The region has a short summer season of 2–3 months, yet reindeer are infected with the mosquito-borne filarioid parasite Setaria tundra. The infection causes...

Where backyard poultry raisers seek care for sick poultry: implications for avian influenza prevention in Bangladesh (2018)
Journal Article
Rimi, N. A., Sultana, R., Ishtiak-Ahmed, K., Haider, N., Azziz-Baumgartner, E., Nahar, N., & Luby, S. P. (in press). Where backyard poultry raisers seek care for sick poultry: implications for avian influenza prevention in Bangladesh. BMC Public Health, 18, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-5819-5

Background
In Bangladesh, backyard poultry raisers lack awareness of avian influenza and infrequently follow government recommendations for its prevention. Identifying where poultry raisers seek care for their ill poultry might help the government b...
