Journal Article
Behnke, J., Rogan, M., Craig, P., Jackson, J., & Hide, G. (2021). Long-term trends in helminth infections of wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) from the vicinity of Malham Tarn in North Yorkshire, England. Parasitology, 184(4), 451-463. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182020002243

Helminth infections in wood mice (n=483), trapped over a period of 26 years in the woods surrounding Malham Tarn in N. Yorkshire, were analysed. Although ten species of helminths were identified, the overall mean species richness was 1.01 species/m...

Partitioning the environmental drivers of immunocompetence (2020)
Journal Article
Jackson, J., Friberg, I., Hablutzel, P., Masud, N., Stewart, A., Synnott, R., & Cable, J. (2020). Partitioning the environmental drivers of immunocompetence. Science of the Total Environment, 747, 141152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.141152

By determining susceptibility to disease, environment-driven variation in immune responses can affect the health, productivity and fitness of vertebrates. Yet how the different components of the total environment control this immune variation is rema... Read More about Partitioning the environmental drivers of immunocompetence.

Transcriptome-wide analysis reveals different categories of response to a standardised immune challenge in a wild rodent (2020)
Journal Article
Wanelik, K., Begon, M., Arriero, E., Bradley, J., Friberg, I., Jackson, J., …Paterson, S. (2020). Transcriptome-wide analysis reveals different categories of response to a standardised immune challenge in a wild rodent. Scientific reports, 10(1), 7444. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-64307-7

Individuals vary in their immune response and, as a result, some are more susceptible to infectious disease than others. Little is known about the nature of this individual variation in natural populations, or which components of immune pathways are...
