Polymorphism of the MHC-DQA2 gene in the Chios dairy sheep population and its association with footrot (2013)
Journal Article
Gelasakis, A. I., Arsenos, G., Hickford, J., Zhou, H., Psifidi, A., Valergakis, G. E., & Banos, G. (2013). Polymorphism of the MHC-DQA2 gene in the Chios dairy sheep population and its association with footrot. Livestock Science, 153(1-3), 56-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.livsci.2013.02.011

The objectives of this study were to assess (i) the nature and frequency of polymorphism of the DQA2 gene in Chios dairy sheep and (ii) if it is associated with footrot prevalence in the population. A total of 20 DQA2 alleles/haplotypes and 78 genoty... Read More about Polymorphism of the MHC-DQA2 gene in the Chios dairy sheep population and its association with footrot.

Genome-Wide Analysis Reveals Selection for Important Traits in Domestic Horse Breeds (2013)
Journal Article
Petersen, J. L., Mickelson, J. R., Rendahl, A. K., Valberg, S. J., Andersson, L. S., Axelsson, J., …McCue, M. E. (2013). Genome-Wide Analysis Reveals Selection for Important Traits in Domestic Horse Breeds. PLoS Genetics, 9(1), e1003211. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1003211

Intense selective pressures applied over short evolutionary time have resulted in homogeneity within, but substantial variation among, horse breeds. Utilizing this population structure, 744 individuals from 33 breeds, and a 54,000 SNP genotyping arra...

Histopathological findings in the livers of cats with a congenital portosystemic shunt before and after surgical attenuation (2013)
Journal Article
Swinbourne, F., Smith, K. C., Lipscomb, V. J., & Tivers, M. S. (2013). Histopathological findings in the livers of cats with a congenital portosystemic shunt before and after surgical attenuation. Veterinary Record, 172(14), 362. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.100812

Histopathological changes are reported in the livers of cats with congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) before and after surgical attenuation. Medical records, portovenograms and liver biopsies from cats treated surgically for CPSS were reviewed. Bi...

Antimicrobial use guidelines for treatment of urinary tract disease in dogs and cats: antimicrobial guidelines working group of the international society for companion animal infectious diseases (2011)
Journal Article
Wees, J. S., Blondeau, J. M., Boothe, D., Breitschwerdt, E. B., Guardabassi, L., Hiilier, A., …Sykes, J. E. (2011). Antimicrobial use guidelines for treatment of urinary tract disease in dogs and cats: antimicrobial guidelines working group of the international society for companion animal infectious diseases. Veterinary Medicine International, https://doi.org/10.4061/2011/263768

Urinary tract disease is a common reason for use (and likely misuse, improper use, and overuse) of antimicrobials in dogs and cats. There is a lack of comprehensive treatment guidelines such as those that are available for human medicine. Accordingly...
