Estimating Prevalence: A Confidence Game
TL;DR: Prevalence is one of the few estimates that rarely are reported with an appropriate measure of error in the parasitological literature and necessitates the reporting of confidence interval estimates that have been shown to be conservative, such as the Clopper-Pearson estimate, or robust,such as the Wilson score approximation, or the computationally intensive integration of the Bayesian posterior.

TL;DR: This study investigated the seroprevalence of influenza A viruses in Cambodian pigs, including human H1N1, H3N2, 2009 pandemic H 1N1 (A(H1N 1)pdm09), and highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza A virus.

Population dynamics and health status of free-roaming dogs in Bhutan
TL;DR: The studies presented in this thesis have demonstrated that the success of a CNVR programme will depend on the initial planning of the programme which includes assessing the size of the local dog population and continuous monitoring and evaluation of the program.
