  • Diversity of Bartonella and Rickettsia spp. in bats and their blood-feeding ectoparasites from South Africa and Swaziland 
    Dietrich, Muriel; Tjale, Mabotse A.; Weyer, Jacqueline; Kearney, Teresa; Seamark, E.C.J. (Ernest); Nel, Louis Hendrik; Monadjem, Ara; Markotter, Wanda (Public Library of Science, 2016-03-21)
    In addition to several emerging viruses, bats have been reported to host multiple bacteria but their zoonotic threats remain poorly understood, especially in Africa where the diversity of bats is important. Here, we ...
  • Leptospira and bats : story of an emerging friendship 
    Dietrich, Muriel; Muhldorfer, Kristin; Tortosa, Pablo; Markotter, Wanda (Public Library of Science, 2015-11-12)
    A growing number of recent studies have highlighted bats as a reservoir for Leptospira bacteria, pointing out the potential role of bats in the epidemiology of the most widespread zoonotic disease in the world [1]. Because ...
  • Malagasy bats shelter a considerable genetic diversity of pathogenic Leptospira suggesting notable host-specificity patterns 
    Gomard, Yann; Dietrich, Muriel; Wieseke, Nicolas; Ramasindrazana, Beza; Lagadec, Erwan; Goodman, Steven M.; Dellagi, Koussay; Tortosa, Pablo (Wiley, 2016-06)
    Pathogenic Leptospira are the causative agents of leptospirosis, a disease of global concern with major impact in tropical regions. Despite the importance of this zoonosis for human health, the evolutionary and ecological ...
  • Migration, prospecting, dispersal? What host movement matters for infectious agent circulation? 
    Boulinier, Thierry; Kada, Sarah; Ponchon, Aurore; Dupraz, Marlène; Dietrich, Muriel; Gamble, Amandine; Bourret, Vincent; Duriez, Olivier; Bazire, Romain; Tornos, Jérémy; Tveraa, Torkild; Chambert, Thierry; Garnier, Romain; McCoy, Karen (Oxford University Press, 2016-06)
    Spatial disease ecology is emerging as a new field that requires the integration of complementary approaches to address how the distribution and movements of hosts and parasites may condition the dynamics of their ...
  • The role of seabirds of the Iles Eparses as reservoirs and disseminators of parasites and pathogens 
    McCoy, Karen D.; Dietrich, Muriel; Jaeger, Audrey; Wilkinson, David A.; Bastien, Matthieu; Lagadec, Erwan; Boulinier, Thierry; Pascalis, Hervé; Tortosa, Pablo; LeCorre, Mathieu; Dellagi, Koussay; Lebarbenchon, Camille (Elsevier, 2016-04)
    The role of birds as reservoirs and disseminators of parasites and pathogens has received much attention over the past several years due to their high vagility. Seabirds are particularly interesting hosts in this respect. ...
