Phylogenetic host specificity and understanding parasite sharing in primates.
- Natalie R. Cooper, R. Griffin, M. Franz, M. Omotayo, C. Nunn, J. Fryxell
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 December 2012
Understanding how parasites are transmitted to new species is of great importance for human health, agriculture and conservation. However, it is still unclear why some parasites are shared by many… Expand
Does habitat disturbance increase infectious disease risk for primates?
- H. Young, R. Griffin, C. Wood, C. Nunn
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 May 2013
Many studies have suggested that ecosystem conservation protects human and wildlife populations against infectious disease. We tested this hypothesis using data on primates and their parasites.… Expand
Identifying wildlife reservoirs of neglected taeniid tapeworms: Non-invasive diagnosis of endemic Taenia serialis infection in a wild primate population
- India Schneider-Crease, R. Griffin, +9 authors T. Bergman
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS neglected tropical diseases
- 1 July 2017
Despite the global distribution and public health consequences of Taenia tapeworms, the life cycles of taeniids infecting wildlife hosts remain largely undescribed. The larval stage of Taenia… Expand

PREMISE OF THE STUDY
White forms of typically pigmented flowers are one of the most common polymorphisms in flowering plants. Although the range of genetic changes that give rise to white phenotypes… Expand
High mortality associated with tapeworm parasitism in geladas (Theropithecus gelada) in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia

- Medicine
- PloS one
- 12 October 2020
Background Trauma is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), trauma patients have a higher risk of experiencing delays to care due to limited… Expand
