Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology drives the worldwide distribution of human diseases.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the global latitudinal species diversity gradient might be generated in large part by biotic interactions, providing strong support for the idea that current estimates of species diversity are substantially underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogen-Driven Selection and Worldwide HLA Class I Diversity
Franck Prugnolle,Andrea Manica,Marie J. E. Charpentier,Jean-François Guégan,Vanina Guernier,Francois Balloux +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that human colonization history explains a substantial proportion of HLA genetic diversity worldwide, however, between-population variation at the HLA class I genes is also positively correlated with local pathogen richness (notably for the Hla B gene), thus providing support for the PDBS hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Chikungunya prevalence in La Réunion Island outbreak by serosurveys: Two methods for two critical times of the epidemic
Patrick Gérardin,Vanina Guernier,J. Perrau,Adrian Fianu,Karin Le Roux,Philippe Grivard,Alain Michault,Xavier de Lamballerie,Antoine Flahault,Antoine Flahault,François Favier +10 more
TL;DR: A rapid serosurvey in pregnant women can be helpful to assess the attack rate when large seroprevalence studies cannot be done and a population-basedserological assessment is useful to refine the estimate when clinical diagnosis underestimates it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globalization of human infectious disease.
TL;DR: Analysis of the GIDEON database quantitatively illustrates that the globalization of human infectious agents depends significantly on the range of hosts used, and has critical implications for public-health policy and future research pathways of infectious disease ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of human and animal leptospirosis in the Pacific Islands reveals pathogen and reservoir diversity
Vanina Guernier,Vanina Guernier,Cyrille Goarant,Cyrille Goarant,Jackie Benschop,Jackie Benschop,Colleen L. Lau,Colleen L. Lau,Colleen L. Lau +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that, as in other tropical regions, leptospirosis is widespread in the PIs while showing some epidemiological heterogeneity, and the relative importance of each animal species in human infection needs to be clarified.
