Prevalence of avian influenza A(H5) and A(H9) in live bird markets in Bangladesh
Journal Article
Kim, Y., Biswas, P. K., Giasuddin, M., Hasan, M., Mahmud, R., Chang, Y. M., …Fournié, G. (in press). Prevalence of avian influenza A(H5) and A(H9) in live bird markets in Bangladesh. https://doi.org/10.3201/eid2412.180879

We conducted a cross-sectional study in live bird markets (LBMs) in Dhaka and Chittagong, Bangladesh, to estimate the prevalence of avian influenza A(H5) and A(H9) viruses in different types of poultry and environmental areas by using Bayesian hierar...

Veterinary homeopathy regulation in the UK – a cause for concern
Journal Article
Whitehead, M. L., Lees, P., & Toutain, P. L. (2018). Veterinary homeopathy regulation in the UK – a cause for concern

Practitioners of homeopathy claim to treat illness by manipulation of an undetectable healing force or energy. The Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 allow homeopathic products to be registered without proof of therapeutic efficacy, as required b...

Limb kinematics, kinetics and muscle dynamics during the sit-to-stand transition in greyhounds
Journal Article
Ellis, R. G., Rankin, J. W., & Hutchinson, J. R. (in press). Limb kinematics, kinetics and muscle dynamics during the sit-to-stand transition in greyhounds. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2018.00162

Standing up from a prone position is a critical daily activity for animals: failing to do so effectively may cause an injurious fall or increase predation susceptibility. This sit-to-stand behaviour (StS) is biomechanically interesting because it nec... Read More about Limb kinematics, kinetics and muscle dynamics during the sit-to-stand transition in greyhounds.

Glycolysis is important for optimal asexual growth and formation of mature tissue cysts by Toxoplasma gondii
Journal Article
Shukla, A., Olszewski, K. L., Llinas, M., Rommereim, L. M., Fox, B. A., Bzik, D. J., …Shanmugam, D. (2018). Glycolysis is important for optimal asexual growth and formation of mature tissue cysts by Toxoplasma gondii. International Journal for Parasitology, 48(12), 955-968. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpara.2018.05.013

Toxoplasma gondii can grow and replicate using either glucose or glutamine as the major carbon source. Here, we have studied the essentiality of glycolysis in the tachyzoite and bradyzoite stages of T. gondii, using transgenic parasites that lack a f...

G-Anchor: a novel approach for whole-genome comparative mapping utilising evolutionary conserved DNA sequences
Journal Article
Lenis, V. E., Swain, M., & Larkin, D. M. (in press). G-Anchor: a novel approach for whole-genome comparative mapping utilising evolutionary conserved DNA sequences. GigaScience, 7(5), https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giy017

Here we introduce G-Anchor, a new, fast, and efficient pipeline that uses a strictly limited but highly effective set of local sequence alignments to anchor (or map) an animal genome to another species’ reference genome. G-Anchor makes novel use of a... Read More about G-Anchor: a novel approach for whole-genome comparative mapping utilising evolutionary conserved DNA sequences.
