Dept of Zoology, University of Oxford, UK
Trends Parasitol 18:530-4. 2002..We find the widespread increase in resistance of the malaria parasite to drugs and the decrease in vector control activities to be more likely driving forces behind the malaria resurgence... - Estimating the malaria risk of African mosquito movement by air travelAndrew J Tatem
Spatial Ecology and Epidemiology Group, Tinbergen Building, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PS, UK

Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, UK, OX1 3PS
Trends Parasitol 21:52-3. 2005..If proven, this would be an interesting result but we believe that the methods used do not test the hypothesis suggested... - A new algorithm quantifies the roles of wind and midge flight activity in the bluetongue epizootic in northwest EuropeLuigi Sedda
Spatial Ecology and Epidemiology Group, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK
Proc Biol Sci 279:2354-62. 2012..We argue that better understanding of the movement of infected insect vectors is an important ingredient in the management of future outbreaks of BT in Europe, and other devastating vector-borne diseases elsewhere... - The arrival, establishment and spread of exotic diseases: patterns and predictionsSarah E Randolph
Oxford Tick Research Group, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PS, UK

PLoS ONE 3:e1408. 2008..Applying standard techniques to MODIS data can introduce errors of up to 30% in the estimation of the amplitudes and phases of the Fourier harmonics... - Climate change and the resurgence of malaria in the East African highlandsSimon I Hay
TALA Research Group, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK
Nature 415:905-9. 2002..A high degree of temporal and spatial variation in the climate of East Africa suggests further that claimed associations between local malaria resurgences and regional changes in climate are overly simplistic... - Global traffic and disease vector dispersalAndrew J Tatem
Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, United Kingdom
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:6242-7. 2006..In contrast, An. gambiae has rarely spread from Africa, which we suggest is partly due to the low volume of sea traffic from the continent and, until very recently, a European destination for most flights... - Remotely sensed correlates of phylogeny: tick-borne flavivirusesSarah E Randolph
