Caron, Alexandre; Grosbois, Vladimir; Etter, Eric M.C.; Gaidet, Nicolas; De Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel (Elsevier, 2014-12)Wild terrestrial birds can act as potential local spreaders or bridge hosts for avian influenzaviruses (AIVs) between waterfowl (the maintenance hosts of AIVs) and domestic avianpopulations in which AIVs may cause disease. ...

Caron, Alexandre; Cappelle, Julien; Cumming, Graeme S.; De Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel; Gaidet, Nicolas (BioMed Central, 2015-07)In ecology, the grouping of species into functional groups has played a valuable role in simplifying ecological complexity. In epidemiology, further clarifications of epidemiological functions are needed: while host roles ...

Miguel, E.; Boulinier, Thierry; De Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel; Caron, Alexandre; Fritz, Hervé; Grosbois, Vladimir (Elsevier, 2014-10)The sharing of habitat by wild and domestic animals may result in pathogen transmission, notably via ectoparasite vectors such as ticks. Interfaces between protected and communal lands constitute sharp transitions between ...

Jori, Ferran J.; Caron, Alexandre; Thompson, P.N. (Peter N.); Dwarka, Rahana M.; Foggin, Chris M.; De Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel; Hofmeyr, Markus; Van Heerden, J.; Heath, Livio Edward (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-02)Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) inflicts severe economic losses within infected countries and is arguably the most important trade-restricting livestock disease in the world. In southern Africa, infected African buffaloes ...

Mercat, Mathilde; Clermont, Olivier; Massot, Meril; Ruppe, Etienne; De Garine-Wichatisky, Michel; Miguel, Eve; Fox, Hugo Valls; Cornelis, Daniel; Andremont, Antoine; Denamur, Erick; Caron, Alexandre (American Society for Microbiology, 2016-12)At a human/livestock/wildlife interface, Escherichia coli populations were used to assess the risk of bacterial and antibiotic resistance dissemination between hosts. We used phenotypic and genotypic characterization ...

Ferguson, Kenneth J.; Cleaveland, Sarah; Haydon, Daniel Thomas; Caron, Alexandre; Kock, Richard A.; Lembo, Tiziana; Hopcraft, J. Grant C.; Chardonnet, Bertrand; Nyariki, Thomas; Keyyu, Julius; Paton, David James; Kivaria, Mathias (Springer, 2013-09)Strategies to control transboundary diseases have in the past generatedunintended negative consequences for both the environment and local human populations. Integrating perspectives from across disciplines, including livestock, ...

Mundava, Josphine; Caron, Alexandre; Gaidet, Nicolas; Couto, Fernando M.; Couto, Jennifer T.; De Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel; Mundy, Peter J. (Taylor & Francis, 2012-08)The spatial and temporal structures of waterbird communities are dynamic and complex with many driving factors. We used long-term waterbird census data at two lakes in Zimbabwe to explore the ecological and anthropogenic drivers ...

Caron, Alexandre; Abolnik, Celia; Mundava, Josphine; Gaidet, Nicolas; Burger, Christina E.; Mochotlhoane, Bontsi; Bruinzeel, Leo; Chiweshe, Ngoni; De Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel; Cumming, Graeme S. (Springer, 2011-03)Waterfowl were counted and sampled in a Zimbabwean wetland over 24 months. LPAI strains were detected during 20 consecutive months, providing the first evidence of regional yearly persistence of LPAI. We discuss the role ...

Relationship between burden of infection in ungulate populations and wildlife/livestock interfaces Caron, Alexandre; Miguel, E.; Gomo, Calvin; Makaya, P.V.; Pfukenyi, Davies M.; Foggin, Chris M.; Hove, T.; De Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel (Cambridge University Press, 2013-02-26)In southern African transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs), people, livestock and wildlife share space and resources in semi-arid landscapes. One consequence of the coexistence of wild and domestic herbivores is the ...

Hellard, Eléonore; Cumming, Graeme S.; Caron, Alexandre; Coe, Elizabeth; Peters, Jeffrey L. (Ecological Society of America, 2016-04)Understanding the dynamics of multihost parasites and the roles of different host species in parasite epidemiology requires consideration of the whole animal community. Host communities may be composed of hundreds of ...
