The abundance threshold for plague as a critical percolation phenomenon (2008)
Davis, S., Trapman, P., Leirs, H., Begon, M., Heesterbeek, J.A.P.
Percolation theory is most commonly associated with the slow flow of liquid through a porous medium, with applications to the physical sciences. Epidemiological applications have been anticipated for...

Sait, S.M., Begon, M., Thompson, D.J., Harvey, J.A., Hails, R.S.
The effect of cowpox virus infection on fecundity in bank voles and wood mice.
Feore, S M, Bennett, M, Chantrey, J, Jones, T, Baxby, D, Begon, M
Although epidemic infectious diseases are a recognized cause of changes in host population dynamics, there is little direct evidence for the effect of endemic infections on populations. Cowpox virus...
Transmission dynamics of a zoonotic pathogen within and between wildlife host species.
Begon, M, Hazel, S M, Baxby, D, Bown, K, Cavanagh, R, Chantrey, J, ...
The transmission dynamics of the cowpox virus infection have been quantified in two mixed populations of bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) and wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus), through analyses of...
Empirical assessment of a threshold model for sylvatic plague
Davis, S, Leirs, H, Viljugrein, H, Stenseth, N.Chr, De Bruyn, L, Klassovskiy, N, ...
Plague surveillance programmes established in Kazakhstan, Central Asia, during the previous century, have generated large plague archives that have been used to parameterize an abundance threshold...
