Drivers of Rift Valley fever virus persistence and the impact of control measures in a spatially heterogeneous landscape: the case of the Comoros archipelago, 2004-2015

W. S. D. Tennant, E. Cardinale, C. Cetre-Sossah, Y. Moutroifi, G. Le Godais, D. Colombi, S. E. F. Spencer, M. J. Tildesley, M. J. Keeling, O. Charafouddine, V. Colizza, W. J. Edmunds, R. Metras

This study uses a mathematical model to analyze RVF virus persistence and control measures in the Comoros archipelago, finding that environmental factors and animal movement drive transmission and that some islands can self-sustain the virus.

Feedback Between Coevolution and Epidemiology Can Help or Hinder the Maintenance of Genetic Variation in Host-Parasite Models

A. MacPherson, M. J. Keeling, S. P. Otto

The paper examines how ecological and epidemiological feedbacks influence genetic variation maintenance in host-parasite coevolution models, finding coevolution rarely outperforms neutral drift.

Coevolution does not slow the rate of loss of heterozygosity in a stochastic host-parasite model with constant population size

A. MacPherson, M. J. Keeling, S. P. Otto

The paper models host-parasite coevolution in a finite population and finds that matching-alleles coevolution reduces genetic variation rather than maintaining it.
