Connecting the Evolution and Spread of Turkey Reovirus Across the United States: A Genomic Perspective Open
A major cause of lameness in turkeys is reoviral arthritis, driven by turkey reovirus (TRV) infection. In the U.S., TRV was first isolated in the 1980s but re-emerged as a significant pathogen causing arthritis in 2011. Since then, TRV out…

Downstream effects: Impact of antibiotic pollution on an aquatic host–parasite interaction Open
The global increase in antibiotic use has led to contamination of freshwater environments. Despite the identified impacts of antibiotics on humans and wildlife, the effect of antibiotics on host–parasite life cycles in freshwater is relati…

Sublethal effects of parasitism on ruminants can have cascading consequences for ecosystems Open
Significance We found that pervasive parasitic infections reduce herbivory rates and can trigger trophic cascades. Lethal parasites clearly have cascading impacts on ecosystems, but whether common sublethal infections have similar effects …

Opportunity or catastrophe? effect of sea salt on host-parasite survival and reproduction Open
Seawater intrusion associated with decreasing groundwater levels and rising seawater levels may affect freshwater species and their parasites. While brackish water certainly impacts freshwater systems globally, its impact on disease transm…

Lack of Host Reproductive Trade-offs Associated with Fecundity Compensation Response to Parasitic Castration Open
Host-parasite coevolution may result in life-history changes in hosts that can limit the detrimental effects of parasitism. Fecundity compensation is one such life-history response, occurring when hosts increase their current reproductive …

Opportunity or catastrophe? Effect of sea salt on host-parasite survival and reproduction Open
Seawater intrusion caused by anthropogenic climate change may affect freshwater species and their parasites. While brackish water certainly impacts freshwater systems globally, its impact on disease transmission is largely unknown. This st…

Community and Ecosystem Level Implications of Helminth Parasitism Open
Pathogens and parasites are increasingly recognized as important components within host populations, communities, and ecosystems. Parasite contributions to ecosystem function most likely manifest as density-mediated impacts of parasites on…

Downstream Effects: Impact of Antibiotic Pollution on an Aquatic Host-Parasite Interaction Open
The global increase in antibiotic use has led to contamination of freshwater environments occupied by parasites and their hosts. Despite the identified impacts of antibiotics on humans and wildlife, the effect of antibiotics on host-parasi…

Helminth infection in a suburban ungulate population is driven more by age than landscape variables Open
Wildlife are increasingly common in suburban environments as towns and cities spread into surrounding rural areas. Many wildlife species have adapted to these new environments; however, we know comparatively little about how parasites resp…
