• Behavior-change interventions to improve antimicrobial stewardship in human health, animal health, and livestock agriculture: A systematic review

  PLOS Global Public Health · 2023-05-08 · 15 citations

  reviewOpen accessSenior authorCorresponding

  Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an economic, food security, and global health threat accelerated by a multitude of factors including the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in the human health, animal health, and agriculture sectors. Given the rapid emergence and spread of AMR and the relative lack of development of new antimicrobials or alternative therapies, there is a need to develop and implement non-pharmaceutical AMR mitigation policies and interventions that improve antimicrobial stewa…

• Modelling the control of bovine brucellosis in India

  Journal of The Royal Society Interface · 2023-03-01 · 11 citations

  articleOpen access

  Brucellosis imposes substantial impacts on livestock production and public health worldwide. A stochastic, age-structured model incorporating herd demographics was developed describing within- and between-herd transmission of Brucella abortus in dairy cattle herds. The model was fitted to data from a cross-sectional study conducted in Punjab State of India and used to evaluate the effectiveness of control strategies under consideration. Based on model results, stakeholder acceptance and constrai…

• Modelling dynamics between free‐living amoebae and bacteria

  Environmental Microbiology · 2024-05-01 · 9 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  Free-living amoebae (FLA) serve as hosts for a variety of endosymbionts, which are microorganisms that reside and multiply within the FLA. Some of these endosymbionts pose a pathogenic threat to humans, animals, or both. The symbiotic relationship with FLA not only offers these microorganisms protection but also enhances their survival outside their hosts and assists in their dispersal across diverse habitats, thereby escalating disease transmission. This review is intended to offer an exhaustiv…

  Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an economic, food security, and global health threat that is driven by a multitude of factors including the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in the human health, animal health, and agriculture sectors. Given the rapid emergence and spread of AMR and the relative lack of development of new antimicrobials or alternative therapies, there is a need to develop and implement non-pharmaceutical AMR mitigation policies and interventions that improve antimic…

• The effectiveness of treating irrigation water using ultraviolet radiation or sulphuric acid fertilizer for reducing generic <i>Escherichia coli</i> on fresh produce—a controlled intervention trial

  Journal of Applied Microbiology · 2021-01-23 · 5 citations

  articleOpen access1st authorCorresponding

  Aims The aims of this study were to: (i) estimate the effectiveness of ultraviolet radiation (UV) and sulphuric acid-based fertilizer (SA), at reducing levels of generic Escherichia coli in surface irrigation water and on produce and surface soil in open produce fields; and (ii) describe the population dynamics of generic E. coli in produce fields. Methods and Results Spinach and cantaloupe plots were randomly assigned to control, UV or SA treatment groups. Irrigation water was inoculated with R…
