Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed parasite infecting humans and warm-blooded animals. Although many surveys have been conducted for T. gondii infection in mammals, little is known about the detailed distribution in localized natural populat...

Understanding distribution patterns of hosts implicated in the transmission of zoonotic disease remains a key goal of parasitology. Here, random forests are employed to model spatial patterns of the presence of the plateau pika (Ochotona spp.) smal...

Modelling the transmission dynamics of cystic echinococcosis in donkeys of different ages from Tunisia (2014)
Journal Article
Lahmar, S., Boufana, B., Jebabli, L., Craig, P., Ayari, H., Basti, T., …Torgerson, P. (2014). Modelling the transmission dynamics of cystic echinococcosis in donkeys of different ages from Tunisia. Veterinary Parasitology, 205(1-2), 119-124. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2014.06.007

During the period from March 2006 to July 2009 a total of 2040 slaughtered donkeys were examined for cystic echinococcosis (CE). CE prevalence in donkeys was 8.48% and the infection pressure (0.0088 infections per year) and infection rate (0.0448 cys...

Naturally occurring Toll-like receptor 11 (TLR11) and Toll-like receptor 12 (TLR12) polymorphisms are not associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection in wild wood mice (2014)
Journal Article
Morger, J., Bajnok, J., Boyce, K., Craig, P., Rogan, M., Lun, Z., …Tschirren, B. (2014). Naturally occurring Toll-like receptor 11 (TLR11) and Toll-like receptor 12 (TLR12) polymorphisms are not associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection in wild wood mice. Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 26, 180-184

Toxoplasma gondii is a highly successful parasite with a worldwide prevalence. Small rodents are the main intermediate hosts, and there is growing evidence that T. gondii modifies their behaviour. Chronically infected rodents show impaired learning c...
