A new phylodynamic model of Mycobacterium bovis transmission in a multi-host system uncovers the role of the unobserved reservoir.

A. O'Hare, D. Balaz, D. M. Wright, C. McCormick, R. A. Skuce, R. R. Kao

This paper develops a phylodynamic model to study M. bovis transmission in a multi-host system, finding that a hidden reservoir contributes to local infections without generating pathogen diversity.

Genomic epidemiology of Mycobacterium bovis infection in sympatric badger and cattle populations in Northern Ireland.

A. Akhmetova, J. Guerrero, P. McAdam, L. C. M. Salvador, J. Crispell, J. Lavery, E. Presho, R. R. Kao, R. Biek, F. Menzies, N. Trimble, R. Harwood, T. Pepler, K. Oravcova, J. Graham, , A. R. Allen

This study sequenced M. bovis isolates from badgers and cattle in Northern Ireland to analyze genomic epidemiology, finding an endemic lineage with low diversity and evidence of interspecies transmission.

Phylodynamic analysis of an emergent Mycobacterium bovis outbreak in an area with no previously known wildlife infections

G. Rossi, J. Crispell, T. Brough, S. J. Lycett, P. C. L. White, A. Allen, R. J. Ellis, S. V. Gordon, R. Harwood, E. Palkopoulou, E. Presho, R. Skuce, G. C. Smith, R. R. Kao

The paper analyzes an M. bovis outbreak in cattle and badgers using mathematical modeling, machine learning, and Bayesian methods, finding a single introduction from Northern Ireland and two-phase transmission dynamics.

Identifying likely transmission pairs with pathogen sequence data using Kolmogorov Forward Equations; an application to M.bovis in cattle and badgers

G. Rossi, J. Crispell, D. Balaz, S. J. Lycett, R. J. Delahay, R. R. Kao

The paper develops an analytical method to infer transmission probabilities between hosts using low-diversity pathogen sequence data and sampling times, applied to M. bovis in cattle and badgers.
