  • Climate variation drives dengue dynamics 
    Xu, Lei; Stige, Leif Christian; Chan, Kung-Sik; Zhou, Jie; Yang, Jun; Sang, Shaowei; Wang, Ming; Yang, Zhicong; Yan, Ziqiang; Jiang, Tong; Lu, Liang; Yue, Yujuan; Liu, Xiaobo; Lin, Hualiang; Xu, Jianguo; Liu, Qiyong; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    Dengue, a viral infection transmitted between people by mosquitoes, is today one of the most rapidly spreading diseases in the world. Here, we report the analyses covering 11 years (2005–2015) from the city of Guangzhou ...
  • Climate-driven marmot-plague dynamics in Mongolia and China 
    Xu, Lei; Wang, Qian; Yang, Ruifu; Ganbold, Dalantai; Tsogbadrakh, Nyamdorj; Dong, Kaixing; Liu, Min; Altantogtokh, Doniddemberel; Liu, Qiyong; Undrakhbold, Sainbileg; Boldgiv, Bazartseren; Liang, Wannian; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    Abstract The incidence of plague has rebounded in the Americas, Asia, and Africa alongside rapid globalization and climate change. Previous studies have shown local climate to have significant nonlinear effects on plague ...
  • Climate-driven variation in mosquito density predicts the spatiotemporal dynamics of dengue 
    Li, Ruiyun; Xu, Lei; Bjornstad, Ottar N.; Liu, Keke; Song, Tie; Chen, Aifang; Xu, Bing; Liu, Qiyong; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    Dengue is a climate-sensitive mosquito-borne disease with increasing geographic extent and human incidence. Although the climate–epidemic association and outbreak risks have been assessed using both statistical and ...
  • Global COVID-19 pandemic demands joint interventions for the suppression of future waves 
    Li, Ruiyun; Chen, Bin; Zhang, Tao; Ren, Zhehao; Song, Yimeng; Xiao, Yixiong; Hou, Lin; Cai, Jun; Xu, Bo; Li, Miao; Chan, Karen Kie Yan; Tu, Ying; Yang, Mu; Yang, Jing; Liu, Zhaoyang; Shen, Chong; Wang, Che; Xu, Lei; Liu, Qiyong; Bao, Shuming; Zhang, Jianqin; Bi, Yuhai; Bai, Yuqi; Deng, Ke; Zhang, Wusheng; Huang, Wenyu; Whittington, Jason; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Guan, Dabo; Gong, Peng; Xu, Bing (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    Emerging evidence suggests a resurgence of COVID-19 in the coming years. It is thus critical to optimize emergency response planning from a broad, integrated perspective. We developed a mathematical model incorporating ...
  • Historical and genomic data reveal the influencing factors on global transmission velocity of plague during the Third Pandemic 
    Xu, Lei; Stige, Leif Christian; Leirs, Herwig; Neerinckx, Simon; Gage, Kenneth L.; Yang, Ruifu; Liu, Qiyong; Bramanti, Barbara; Dean, Katharine Rose; Tang, Hui; Sun, Zhe; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Zhang, Zhibin (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    Quantitative knowledge about which natural and anthropogenic factors influence the global spread of plague remains sparse. We estimated the worldwide spreading velocity of plague during the Third Pandemic, using more than ...
  • Host and geographic barriers shape the competition, coexistence, and extinction patterns of influenza A (H1N1) viruses 
    Cheng, Chaoyuan; Holyoak, Marcel; Xu, Lei; Li, Jing; Liu, Wenjun; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Zhang, Zhibin (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    The influenza virus mutates and spreads rapidly, making it suitable for studying evolutionary and ecological processes. The ecological factors and processes by which different lineages of influenza compete or coexist within ...
  • Human plague system associated with rodent diversity and other environmental factors 
    Sun, Zhe; Xu, Lei; Schmid, Boris Valentijn; Dean, Katharine Rose; Zhang, Zhibin; Xie, Yan; Fang, Xiye; Wang, Shuchun; Liu, Qiyong; Lyu, Baolei; Wan, Xinru; Xu, Jianguo; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Xu, Bing (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    Plague remains a threat to public health and is considered as a re-emerging infectious disease today. Rodents play an important role as major hosts in plague persistence and driving plague outbreaks in natural foci; however, ...
  • No evidence for persistent natural plague reservoirs in historical and modern Europe 
    Stenseth, Nils Christian; Tao, Yuxin; Zhang, Chutian; Bramanti, Barbara; Büntgen, Ulf; Cong, Xianbin; Cui, Yujun; Zhou, Hu; Dawson, Lorna A.; Mooney, Sacha J.; Li, Dong; Fell, Henry G.; Cohn, Samuel; Sebbane, Florent; Slavin, Philip; Liang, Wannian; Tong, Howell; Yang, Ruifu; Xu, Lei (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Caused by Yersinia pestis , plague ravaged the world through three known pandemics: the First or the Justinianic (6th–8th century); the Second (beginning with the Black Death during c.1338–1353 and lasting ...
