Marine infectious disease dynamics and outbreak thresholds: contact transmission, pandemic infection, and the potential role of filter feeders
(Wiley, 2016-04)
Disease-causing organisms can have significant impacts on marine species and communities. However, the dynamics that underlie the emergence of disease outbreaks in marine ecosystems still lack the equivalent level of ...
Microparasitic disease dynamics in benthic suspension feeders: Infective dose, non-focal hosts, and particle diffusion
(Elsevier, 2016-03-05)
Benthic suspension-feeders can accumulate substantial numbers of microparasitic pathogens by contacting or filtering particles while feeding, thus making them highly vulnerable to infectious diseases. The study of disease ...
Fishing diseased abalone to promote yield and conservation
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2016)
Past theoretical models suggest fishing disease-impacted stocks can reduce parasite transmission, but this is a good management strategy only when the exploitation required to reduce transmission does not overfish the ...
