Open AccessGlobal surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in food animals using priority drugs maps
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in food animals is a growing threat to animal health and potentially to human health. In resource-limited settings, allocating resources to address AMR can be guided with maps. H...

Open AccessGenome-associations of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase producing (ESBL) or AmpC producing E. coli in small and medium pig farms from Khon Kaen province, Thailand
Thailand is undergoing rapid intensification of livestock production where small subsistence farms and medium sized commercial farms coexist. In medium farms, antimicrobials are prescribed by a veterinarian, w...

Open AccessTwenty-year trends in antimicrobial resistance from aquaculture and fisheries in Asia
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to human and animal health. However, in aquatic animals—the fastest growing food animal sector globally—AMR trends are seldom documented, particularly in Asia...

Article
Geographically targeted surveillance of livestock could help prioritize intervention against antimicrobial resistance in China
The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals is being fuelled by the widespread use of veterinary antimicrobials. China is the largest global consumer of veterinary antimicrobials, and improving AMR s...

Article
Open Accessresistancebank.org, an open-access repository for surveys of antimicrobial resistance in animals
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to the health of humans and animals that requires global actions. In high-income countries, surveillance systems helped inform policies to curb AMR in animals...

Open AccessGlobal trends in antimicrobial use in aquaculture
Globally aquaculture contributes 8% of animal protein intake to the human diet, and per capita consumption is increasing faster than meat and dairy consumption. Reports have documented antimicrobial use in the...

Open AccessPredicting the risk of avian influenza A H7N9 infection in live-poultry markets across Asia
Two epidemic waves of an avian influenza A (H7N9) virus have so far affected China. Most human cases have been attributable to poultry exposure at live-poultry markets, where most positive isolates were sample...

Open AccessAir temperature suitability for Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission in Africa 2000-2012: a high-resolution spatiotemporal prediction
Temperature suitability for malaria transmission is a useful predictor variable for spatial models of malaria infection prevalence. Existing continental or global models, however, are synoptic in nature and so...

Open AccessGeographical variation in Plasmodium vivax relapse
Plasmodium vivax has the widest geographic distribution of the human malaria parasites and nearly 2.5 billion people live at risk of infection. The control of P. vivax in individuals and populations is complicate...

Open AccessMonitoring the impact of decentralised chronic care services on patient travel time in rural Africa - methods and results in Northern Malawi
Decentralised health services form a key part of chronic care strategies in resource-limited settings by reducing the distance between patient and clinic and thereby the time and costs involved in travelling. ...

Open AccessModelling the global constraints of temperature on transmission of Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax
Temperature is a key determinant of environmental suitability for transmission of human malaria, modulating endemicity in some regions and preventing transmission in others. The spatial modelling of malaria en...
