Roberts M
Math Biosci . 2024 Jul; 375:109258. PMID: 39004215
We present a model for the dynamics of two interacting pathogen variants in a wild animal host population. Using the next-generation matrix approach we define the invasion threshold for one...

Roberts M, Hickson R, McCaw J
J Math Biol . 2024 Mar; 88(4):48. PMID: 38538962
We extend a previously published model for the dynamics of a single strain of an influenza-like infection. The model incorporates a waning acquired immunity to infection and punctuated antigenic drift...

Roberts M, Heesterbeek J
J R Soc Interface . 2021 Oct; 18(183):20210551. PMID: 34637641
Ecological and epidemiological processes and interactions influence each other, positively and negatively, directly and indirectly. The invasion potential of pathogens is influenced by the ecosystem context of their host species'...

Roberts M, Burgess S, Toombs-Ruane L, Benschop J, Marshall J, French N
Math Biosci . 2021 Jul; 339:108656. PMID: 34216634
Antibiotics are used extensively to control infections in humans and animals, usually by injection or a course of oral tablets. There are several methods by which bacteria can develop antimicrobial...

Roberts M, Heesterbeek J
J R Soc Interface . 2020 Jan; 17(162):20190540. PMID: 31937232
We use a previously published compartmental model of the dynamics of pathogens in ecosystems to define and explore the concepts of maintenance host, maintenance community and reservoir of infection in...

Roberts M, Hickson R, McCaw J, Talarmain L
J Math Biol . 2018 Aug; 78(3):607-624. PMID: 30155777
We propose and analyse a model for the dynamics of a single strain of an influenza-like infection. The model incorporates waning acquired immunity to infection and punctuated antigenic drift of...

Babylon A, Roberts M, Wake G
Theor Popul Biol . 2018 Mar; 121:26-32. PMID: 29601833
New Zealand has one of the highest (per capita) incidences of human leptospirosis in the world. It is the highest occurring occupational disease in New Zealand, often transmitted from livestock...

Roberts M, Heesterbeek J
J R Soc Interface . 2018 Mar; 15(140). PMID: 29563242
The , where an increase in biodiversity results in a reduction in the prevalence of an infectious disease, has been the subject of speculation and controversy. Conversely, an occurs when...

Hayman D, Marshall J, French N, Carpenter T, Roberts M, Kiedrzynski T
Vaccine . 2017 Aug; 35(37):4913-4922. PMID: 28802754
As endemic measles is eliminated from countries through increased immunisation, the economic benefits of enhanced immunisation programs may come into question. New Zealand has suffered from outbreaks after measles introductions...

Hayman D, Marshall J, French N, Carpenter T, Roberts M, Kiedrzynski T
Epidemiol Infect . 2017 Apr; 145(9):1875-1885. PMID: 28414002
As endemic measles is eliminated through immunization, countries must determine the risk factors for the importation of measles into highly immunized populations to target control measures. Despite eliminating endemic measles,...
