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...

Avian influenza viruses, including highly pathogenic strains, pose severe economic, animal and public health concerns. We implemented live bird market surveillance in Bangladesh to identify the subtypes of avian influenza A viruses in domestic waterf...

Epidemiology and genetic characterization of Peste des petits ruminants virus in Bangladesh (2018)
Journal Article
Rahman, M., Haider, N., Gurley, E., Ahmed, S., Osmani, M., Hossain, M., …Rahman, M. (2018). Epidemiology and genetic characterization of Peste des petits ruminants virus in Bangladesh. Veterinary Medicine and Science, 4(3), 161 - 171. https://doi.org/10.1002/vms3.98

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute, highly contagious disease responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates in susceptible sheep and goats. Adequate knowledge of the diversity of circulating strains of PPR virus will help livestock aut...

Microclimatic temperatures at Danish cattle farms, 2000–2016: quantifying the temporal and spatial variation in the transmission potential of Schmallenberg virus (2018)
Journal Article
Haider, N., Cuellar, A. C., Kjær, L. J., Sørensen, J. H., & Bødker, R. (in press). Microclimatic temperatures at Danish cattle farms, 2000–2016: quantifying the temporal and spatial variation in the transmission potential of Schmallenberg virus. Parasites and Vectors, 11, Article 128. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-018-2709-8

Background Microclimatic temperatures provide better estimates of vector-borne disease transmission parameters than standard meteorological temperatures, as the microclimate represent the actual temperatures to which the vectors are exposed. The obj... Read More about Microclimatic temperatures at Danish cattle farms, 2000–2016: quantifying the temporal and spatial variation in the transmission potential of Schmallenberg virus.
