Henipaviruses: emerging paramyxoviruses associated with fruit batsH E Field
Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, Brisbane, Australia
Curr Top Microbiol Immunol 315:133-59. 2007..Investigation of the emergence and ecology of henipaviruses warrants a broad, cross-disciplinary ecosystem health approach that recognises the critical linkages between human activity, ecological change, and livestock and human health...
Bats and emerging zoonoses: henipaviruses and SARSH E Field
Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Zoonoses Public Health 56:278-84. 2009..Mitigating and managing the risk requires an appreciation of the connectedness between human, livestock and wildlife health, and of the factors and processes that disrupt the balance...
Emerging viral diseases of Southeast Asia and the Western PacificJ S Mackenzie
University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Emerg Infect Dis 7:497-504. 2001..Most recently, Tioman virus has been isolated from flying foxes, but it has not yet been associated with animal or human disease. Of nonzoonotic viruses, the most important regionally have been enterovirus 71 and HIV...
Leptospiral antibodies in flying foxes in AustraliaL D Smythe
WHO FAO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Leptospirosis, Queensland Health Scientific Services, Kessels Road, Coopers Plains, Queensland 4108, Australia
J Wildl Dis 38:182-6. 2002..The potential exists for establishment of infection in new host species, the transmission of new serovars to known host species, and for changes in virulence of leptospires as a result of passage through these species...
High-resolution melt-curve analysis of random-amplified-polymorphic-DNA markers, for the characterisation of pathogenic LeptospiraS M Tulsiani
The University of Queensland, School of Veterinary Science, St Lucia, Queensland, Australia
Ann Trop Med Parasitol 104:151-61. 2010..As an objective and relatively inexpensive and rapid method of serovar identification, at least for cultured isolates, RAPD-HRM assays show convincing potential...
High-resolution melt-curve analysis of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-HRM) for the characterisation of pathogenic leptospires: intra-serovar divergence, inter-serovar convergence, and evidence of attenuation in Leptospira reference collectionsS M Tulsiani
The University of Queensland, School of Veterinary Science, St Lucia, Queensland, 4072, Australia
Ann Trop Med Parasitol 104:427-37. 2010..Further, RAPD-HRM analysis of reference strains indicates that the routine renewal of reference collections, with new isolates, may be needed to maintain the genetic integrity of the collections...

School of Veterinary Science, The University of Queensland, Gatton, Queensland, Australia
Ann Trop Med Parasitol 105:71-84. 2011..Stringent quantitative risk analysis of the present and similar data, to explore their implications in terms of disease prevalence and wildlife population dynamics, is recommended...

Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
J Appl Microbiol 94:59S-69S. 2003..Finally, an intriguing and long-term strategy is that of wildlife immunization through plant-derived vaccination...
