Contact networks are fundamental to the transmission of infection and host sex often affects the acquisition and progression of infection. However, the epidemiological impacts of sex-related variation in animal contact networks have rarely been investigated. We test the hypothesis that sex-biases...
The focus of this chapter is to provide an update on the progress in vaccination of tuberculosis (TB) in domestic (goats and cattle) and wild animals (badgers, ferrets, white-tailed deer, Sus scrofa, African buffaloes, and common brushtail possum).
This book chapter discusses the pathology of Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle and other animal species (sheep and goats, South American camelids, Eurasian badgers, cervids, wild boar, African buffalo and lechwe, Brushtail possum) and the main aspects of the pathogenesis of the immune...
This book chapter discusses the Mycobacterium bovis infection in key wildlife hosts such as the possums, badgers, wild boar and feral pigs, and deer; multi-host complexes and the ecology of M. bovis dynamics and persistence; and transmission at the livestock-wildlife interface.
This article describes the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in wild badgers (Meles meles) killed by vehicles in Northern Ireland through postmortem diagnosis.
In the UK and Ireland, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination of badgers has been suggested as one of a number of strategies to control or even eradicate Mycobacterium bovis infection in badgers. In this manuscript, we present the results of a badger field trial conducted in Ireland and discuss...
Long-term individual-based datasets on host-pathogen systems are a rare and valuable resource for understanding the infectious disease dynamics in wildlife. A study of European badgers (Meles meles) naturally infected with bovine tuberculosis (bTB) at Woodchester Park in Gloucestershire (UK) has...
The diagnosis and control of Mycobacterium bovis infection (bovine tuberculosis: TB) continues to present huge challenges to the British cattle industry. A clearer understanding of the magnitude and duration of immune response to M. bovis infection in the European badger (Meles meles) - a wildlife...
Host social structure is fundamental to how infections spread and persist, and so the statistical modelling of static and dynamic social networks provides an invaluable tool to parameterise realistic epidemiological models. We present a practical guide to the application of network modelling...
