PhD studentship on epidemiological modelling of superspreaders @uniofsurrey.bsky.social & Dstl. Explore the role of superspreaders in driving disease spread and contribute to advancing global public health. Only a week left to apply! Deadline 23 Jan. For details see www.surrey.ac.uk/wessex-one-h...

Great to see our spatial-social meta-analysis of density-dependent transmission effects finally out in Nature Eco Evo! This work was a pleasure to be involved in - thanks to @gfalbery.bsky.social for coordinating!

Interested in host-associated microbiomes? Attending @eseb2025.bsky.social? Then come check out Symposium S07 on Monday August 18th and hear all about how microbiomes contribute to adaptation. Gut microbiomes, climate change, thermal physiology, behaviour, invasion biology, blood-feeding, and more!

Getting excited for our symposium on host-associated microbiomes next week (Monday 18 August) @eseb2025.bsky.social. We have a great line up of talks covering plants, mice, honeybees, squirrels, nematodes, mites, Drosophila, leeches, muskox, cockroaches, birds, bats, butterflies, beetles, and bears!

Our new paper, just out “Superspreaders have lower gut microbial alpha-diversity and distinct gut microbial composition in a natural rodent population”. Highlights gut microbial signatures for those individuals that have the potential to spread the most infectious disease. doi.org/10.1186/s425...

Superspreaders have lower gut microbial alpha-diversity and distinct gut microbial composition in a natural rodent population - Animal Microbiome

The microbiome is well known to drive variation in host states (e.g. behaviour, immunity) that would be expected to modulate the spread of infectious disease—but the role of microbiotal interactions i...
