Manuscript: Minimum information necessary for the reproduction of infection studies (with WP2)

Poor reproducibility of scientific results is increasingly recognised as a problem in science, with the information provided within many published studies insufficient for replication, and this is a particular problem within insect infection studies due to the small size of the field and the additional constraints of differing national biosafety requirements. We will identify and publish guidelines on the minimum information which should be reported to allow artificial infection studies to be replicated in other laboratories, increasing the value of future infection studies.
