Avian malaria-mediated population decline of a widespread iconic bird species (2019)
Journal Article
Dadum, D., Robinson, R., Clements, A., Peach, W., Bennett, M., Rowcliffe, J. M., & Cunningham, A. (2019). Avian malaria-mediated population decline of a widespread iconic bird species. Royal Society Open Science, 6(7), 182197. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.182197

Parasites have the capacity to affect animal populations by modifying host survival, and it is increasingly recognised that infectious disease can negatively impact biodiversity. Populations of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) have declined in m... Read More about Avian malaria-mediated population decline of a widespread iconic bird species.

First detection of Hepatitis E virus (Orthohepevirus C) in wild brown rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) from Great Britain (2019)
Journal Article
Murphy, E. G., Williams, N. J., Jennings, D., Chantrey, J., Verin, R., Grierson, S., …Bennett, M. (2019). First detection of Hepatitis E virus (Orthohepevirus C) in wild brown rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) from Great Britain. Zoonoses and Public Health, 66(6), 686-694. https://doi.org/10.1111/zph.12581

In the United Kingdom, there has been an increase in the number of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections in people annually since 2010. Most of these are thought to be indigenously acquired Orthohepevirus A genotype 3 (HEV G3), which has been linked to...

Detection of Seoul virus in wild brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) from pig farms in Northern England (2019)
Journal Article
Murphy, E. G., Williams, N. J., Bennett, M., Jennings, D., Chantrey, J., & McElhinney, L. M. (2019). Detection of Seoul virus in wild brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) from pig farms in Northern England. Veterinary Record, 184(17), 525-525. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.105249

Introduction: Hantaviruses are maintained by mammalian hosts, such as rodents, and are shed in their excretions. Clinical disease can occur in humans from spillover infection. Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are the globally distributed reservoir host... Read More about Detection of Seoul virus in wild brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) from pig farms in Northern England.
