Population, genetic, and antigenic diversity of the apicomplexan Eimeria tenella and their relevance to vaccine development (2015)
Journal Article
Blake, D. P., Clark, E. L., Macdonald, S. E., Thenmozhi, V., Kundu, K., Garg, R., …Tomley, F. M. (2015). Population, genetic, and antigenic diversity of the apicomplexan Eimeria tenella and their relevance to vaccine development. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1506468112

The phylum Apicomplexa includes serious pathogens of humans and animals. Understanding the distribution and population structure of these protozoan parasites is of fundamental importance to explain disease epidemiology and develop sustainable control...

PinR mediates the generation of reversible population diversity in Streptococcus zooepidemicus (2015)
Journal Article
Steward, K. F., Harrison, T., Robinson, C., Slater, J. D., Maskell, D. J., Harris, S. R., …Waller, A. S. (2015). PinR mediates the generation of reversible population diversity in Streptococcus zooepidemicus. Microbiology, 161, 1105-1112. https://doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.000057

Opportunistic pathogens must adapt to and survive in a wide range of complex ecosystems. Streptococcus zooepidemicus is an opportunistic pathogen of horses and many other animals, including humans. The assembly of different surface architecture pheno... Read More about PinR mediates the generation of reversible population diversity in Streptococcus zooepidemicus.

Evidence for human norovirus infection of dogs in the UK (2015)
Journal Article
Caddy, S. L., De Rougemont, A., Emmott, E., El-Attar, L. M. R., Mitchell, J. A., Hollinshead, M., …Goodfellow, I. (2015). Evidence for human norovirus infection of dogs in the UK. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 53(6), 1873-1883. https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.02778-14

Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are a major cause of viral gastroenteritis, with an estimated 3 million cases per year in the United Kingdom. HuNoVs have recently been isolated from pet dogs in Europe (M. Summa, C.-H. von Bonsdorff, and L. Maunula, J Clin... Read More about Evidence for human norovirus infection of dogs in the UK.
