The transmission dynamics of infectious disease depends on the frequency and type of contacts between
susceptible and infectious individuals or groups. Between-farm contact structures have been defined in
several countries, and have been widely used to model disease spread. In this study, we desc...

We report on the results of work on three bacterial zoonoses arising as part of a large project dealing with
zoonotic infections amongst livestock and the farmers who keep them. Domestic livestock are an important
source of zoonotic infections to humans, particularly in rural parts of Africa. Und...

The central variable region (CVR) within the B602L gene of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) is highly polymorphic within the 23 ASFV genotypes defined by sequencing of the C-terminal end of the p72 locus. Sequencing the p54 gene further discriminates ASFV genotypes that are conserved at the p...
