Wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) and bank voles (Myodes glareolus) are often employed as natural study models in infectious disease ecology. Yet the identities of some elements of their parasite fauna have been subject to long-standing confusion. One... Read More about Aonchotheca annulosa and Aonchotheca murissylvatici, which is which?

A novel morbillivirus and a novel betaherpesvirus infecting the Wood Mouse in the UK (2024)
Journal Article
Jackson, J. A. (in press). A novel morbillivirus and a novel betaherpesvirus infecting the Wood Mouse in the UK. #Journal not on list, 68, 13177. https://doi.org/10.3389/av.2024.13177

A novel morbillivirus and a novel betaherpesvirus are reported in the Wood Mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) in the western United Kingdom (UK). The two viruses were found coinfecting an underweight host with abnormalities of the liver and were detected vi...

Large-bodied gastric spirurids (Nematoda, Spirurida) predict structure in the downstream gastrointestinal helminth community of wild spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) (2024)
Journal Article

The dominant helminths infecting spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in the montane wadis of the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt are spirurid nematodes, notably Protospirura muricola and Mastophorus muris. Both are relatively large robust stomach worms that accu...

Lunar-linked biorhythms in the immune system of freshwater three-spined stickleback (2024)
Journal Article
Jackson, J. A., Stewart, A., & Cable, J. (2024). Lunar-linked biorhythms in the immune system of freshwater three-spined stickleback. #Journal not on list, 3(1), Article kyae007. https://doi.org/10.1093/discim/kyae007

Immune responses are widely accepted to be under circadian regulation via a molecular clock, with many practical consequences, but much less is known of how other biorhythms could affect the immune system. In this study we search for lunar rhythms (c... Read More about Lunar-linked biorhythms in the immune system of freshwater three-spined stickleback.
