1.
Manley W, Tran T, Prusinski M, Brisson D
J Med Entomol . 2024 Oct; 62(1):199-206. PMID: 39439315
Tick-borne diseases constitute the predominant vector-borne health threat in North America. Recent observations have noted a significant expansion in the range of the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis Say, Acari: Ixodidae),...

Pilling O, Sundararaman S, Brisson D, Beiting D
PLoS Pathog . 2024 Sep; 20(9):e1012418. PMID: 39264872
High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has revolutionized microbiology, but many microbes exist at low abundance in their natural environment and/or are difficult, if not impossible, to culture in the laboratory. This makes...

Oppler Z, Prusinski M, OKeeffe K, Pearson P, Rich S, Falco R, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2024 Jul; 33(16):e17480. PMID: 39034651
Recent changes in climate and human land-use have resulted in alterations of the geographic range of many species, including human pathogens. Geographic range expansion and population growth of human pathogens...
4.
MacDonald H, Brisson D
J Evol Biol . 2024 Feb; 37(3):314-324. PMID: 38330160
Traditional mechanistic trade-offs between transmission and parasite latency period length are foundational for nearly all theories on the evolution of parasite life-history strategies. Prior theoretical studies demonstrate that seasonal host...

OConnor C, Prusinski M, Aldstadt J, Falco R, Oliver J, Haight J, et al.
J Med Entomol . 2023 Dec; 61(2):331-344. PMID: 38157309
The modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) is a cause of statistical and visual bias when aggregating data according to spatial units, particularly when spatial units may be changed arbitrarily. The...

Pearson P, Rich C, Siegel E, Brisson D, Rich S
Pathogens . 2023 Oct; 12(10). PMID: 37887754
Reservoir host associations have been observed among and within genospecies, and host complement-mediated killing is a major determinant in these interactions. In North America, only a subset of lineages cause...

Zinck C, Raveendram Thampy P, Uhlemann E, Adam H, Wachter J, Suchan D, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2023 Aug; 19(8):e1011572. PMID: 37607182
Pathogen life history theory assumes a positive relationship between pathogen load in host tissues and pathogen transmission. Empirical evidence for this relationship is surprisingly rare due to the difficulty of...

Pine M, Arora G, Hart T, Bettini E, Gaudette B, Muramatsu H, et al.
Mol Ther . 2023 Aug; 31(9):2702-2714. PMID: 37533256
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne infectious disease in the United States, in part because a vaccine against it is not currently available for humans. We propose utilizing the...

MacDonald H, Brisson D
Ecol Evol . 2023 May; 13(5):e10107. PMID: 37214617
The timing of seasonal activity, or phenology, is an adaptive trait that maximizes individual fitness by timing key life events to coincide with favorable abiotic factors and biotic interactions. Studies...

Dwivedi-Yu J, Oppler Z, Mitchell M, Song Y, Brisson D
PLoS Comput Biol . 2023 Apr; 19(4):e1010137. PMID: 37068103
Addressing many of the major outstanding questions in the fields of microbial evolution and pathogenesis will require analyses of populations of microbial genomes. Although population genomic studies provide the analytical...
