Risk factors for human disease emergenceL H Taylor
Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Easter Bush, Roslin, Midlothian, EH25 9RG, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 356:983-9. 2001..No association between transmission route and emergence was found. This study represents the first quantitative analysis identifying risk factors for human disease emergence...
Competitive suppression in mixed-clone parasite culturesLouise H Taylor

Biol Lett 1:108-11. 2005..Moreover, significant negative deviations from expected replication rates corresponded with successful out-competing of a higher carrying capacity clone by a lower carrying capacity clone...
Determinants of transmission success of individual clones from mixed-clone infections of the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudiL H Taylor
Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology, University of Edinburgh, U K
Int J Parasitol 28:719-25. 1998..The two clones differed in competitive ability and the data suggest that interactions with the host immune system may be a major factor in determining transmission success from mixed-clone infections...

Science 292:1109-12. 2001..The evolutionary advantages and disadvantages of generalism are so finely balanced that even closely related pathogens can have very different host range sizes...
Diseases of humans and their domestic mammals: pathogen characteristics, host range and the risk of emergenceS Cleaveland
Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Easter Bush, Roslin, Midlothian EH25 9RG, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 356:991-9. 2001..There is clearly a need to understand the dynamics of infectious diseases in complex multihost communities in order to mitigate disease threats to public health, livestock economies and wildlife...
Genetic and phenotypic analysis of Tunisian Theileria annulata clonesL H Taylor
Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Easter Bush, Roslin, Midlothian EH25 9RG, Scotland, UK
Parasitology 126:241-52. 2003..All 3 in vitro measures are likely to have relevance to parasite-host interactions in animals with clinical theileriosis, and should be acted on by within-host and between-host selection...
