MacDonald H, Bonhoeffer S, Regoes R
R Soc Open Sci
. 2025 Jan;
12(1):240629.
PMID: 39845710
An open question in epidemiology is why transmission is often overdispersed, meaning that most new infections are driven by few infected individuals. For example, around 10% of COVID-19 cases cause...

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...

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...

MacDonald H, Brisson D
Am Nat
. 2023 Feb;
201(3):340-352.
PMID: 36848506
AbstractThe timing of seasonal host activity, or host phenology, is an important driver of parasite transmission dynamics and evolution. Despite the vast diversity of parasites in seasonal environments, the impact...

MacDonald H, Akcay E, Brisson D
Evolution
. 2022 Apr;
76(6):1183-1194.
PMID: 35488459
Traditional mechanistic trade-offs between transmission and virulence are the foundation of nearly all theory on parasite virulence evolution. For obligate-host killer parasites, evolution toward intermediate virulence depends on a trade-off...

MacDonald H, Brisson D
Ecol Evol
. 2022 Mar;
12(3):e8658.
PMID: 35342586
Parasite-host interactions can drive periodic population dynamics when parasites overexploit host populations. The timing of host seasonal activity, or host phenology, determines the frequency and demographic impact of parasite-host interactions,...

MacDonald H, Akcay E, Brisson D
Theor Ecol
. 2021 Nov;
14(1):123-143.
PMID: 34721722
Phenology is a fundamental determinant of species distributions, abundances, and interactions. In host-parasite interactions, host phenology can affect parasite fitness due to the temporal constraints it imposes on host contact...

Castillo-Neyra R, Toledo A, Arevalo-Nieto C, MacDonald H, De la Puente-Leon M, Naquira-Velarde C, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis
. 2019 Aug;
13(8):e0007600.
PMID: 31369560
To control and prevent rabies in Latin America, mass dog vaccination campaigns (MDVC) are implemented mainly through fixed-location vaccination points: owners have to bring their dogs to the vaccination points...

Reid C, MacDonald H, Mann R, Marshall J, Latty T, Garnier S
J R Soc Interface
. 2016 Jun;
13(119).
PMID: 27278359
Several recent studies hint at shared patterns in decision-making between taxonomically distant organisms, yet few studies demonstrate and dissect mechanisms of decision-making in simpler organisms. We examine decision-making in the...
