Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial self-organisation in ecology: pretty patterns or robust reality?
TL;DR: This work has shown that many plausible mechanisms for generating patterns are robust to noise, and consequently broken symmetry is insufficient grounds for dismissing these self-organized patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pertussis enigma: Reconciling epidemiology, immunology and evolution
Matthieu Domenech de Cellès,F. M. G. Magpantay,Aaron A. King,Aaron A. King,Pejman Rohani,Pejman Rohani +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present 1980-2012 incidence data from 63 countries and show that pertussis resurgence is not universal and that natural infection and vaccination both appear to provide long-term protection against transmission and disease, so that previously infected or vaccinated adults contribute little to overall transmission at population level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of immunisation on pertussis transmission in England and Wales.
TL;DR: It is shown that vaccination has substantially reduced transmission of pertussis in England and Wales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harvesting can increase severity of wildlife disease epidemics
Marc Choisy,Pejman Rohani +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the interaction between density dependent effects and harvesting can substantially increase both disease prevalence and the absolute number of infectious individuals, which clearly increases the risk of cross-species disease transmission into domestic and livestock populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crossing the scale from within-host infection dynamics to between-host transmission fitness: a discussion of current assumptions and knowledge
Andreas Handel,Pejman Rohani +1 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework is presented and examples of studies that have taken first steps towards development of a quantitative framework that scales from within-host infections to population-level fitness of different pathogens are provided.
