A key priority for infectious disease research is to clarify how pathogen genetic variation,
modulated by host immunity, transmission bottlenecks, and epidemic dynamics, determines the …

Quantifying long-range dissemination of infectious diseases is a key issue in their dynamics
and control. Here, we use influenza-related mortality data to analyze the between-state …

Responding to an outbreak of a novel coronavirus [agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)]
in December 2019, China banned travel to and from Wuhan city on 23 January 2020 …

Spatio-temporal travelling waves are striking manifestations of predator–prey and host–parasite
dynamics. However, few systems are well enough documented both to detect repeated …

INTRODUCTION As the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
pandemic continues, the deployment of safe and effective vaccines presents a key intervention …

Demand for animal protein for human consumption is rising globally at an unprecedented
rate. Modern animal production practices are associated with regular use of antimicrobials, …

Background Antibiotic drug consumption is a major driver of antibiotic resistance. Variations
in antibiotic resistance across countries are attributable, in part, to different volumes and …

Quantifying the impact of density, extrinsic climatic fluctuations, and demography on
population fluctuations is a persistent challenge in ecology. We analyzed the effect of these …

Foot-and-mouth is one of the world's most economically important livestock diseases. We
developed an individual farm–based stochastic model of the current UK epidemic. The fine …

The dynamics of cellular immunity against pathogens, and its interaction with the human MHC
system, is a key area for empirical research, both within individual hosts and in population …
