Vaccine nationalism and the dynamics and control of SARS-CoV-2
Published 2021Vaccines provide powerful tools to mitigate the enormous public health and economic costs that the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to exert globally, yet vaccine distribution remains unequal between countries. To ...Preprint -
The role of gene segment interactions in driving the emergence of dominant gene constellations during influenza virus reassortment
Published 2021Abstract A segmented genome enables influenza virus to undergo reassortment when two viruses infect the same cell. Resulting reassorted progeny have a spectrum of gene constellations and potentially different phenotypes. ...Preprint -
Infectious disease phylodynamics with occurrence data
Published 2021Phylodynamic models use pathogen genome sequence data to infer epidemiological dynamics. With the increasing genomic surveillance of pathogens, especially during the SARS_CoV_2 pandemic, new practical questions about their ...Article -
Large variability of intake of lick-block supplement among individual animals under different forage types in group-fed cattle
Published 2018Novel in-paddock technologies, such as electronic feeders (EF), allow measuring individual supplement intake and feeding behaviour of molasses and mineral blocks offered as free-choice to group-fed cattle. EF might also ...Open AccessConference paper -
Large variability in individual animal’s intake of lick-block supplements is correlated with individual liveweight and growth rate in cattle
Published 2018Supplementation with molasses and mineral blocks offered as free choice have been less studied than traditional dry loose supplements (Bowman and Sowell 1997) with a major challenge being to measure individual supplement ...Open AccessConference paper
