Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life (2016)
Journal Article
Newsome, R., Green, M. J., Bell, N. J., Chagunda, C. S., Mason, C. S., Rutland, C. S., …Huxley, J. N. (2016). Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life. Journal of Dairy Science, 99(6), 4512-4525. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2015-10202

Claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole hemorrhage, sole ulcer, and white line disease) cause a large proportion of lameness in dairy cattle, yet their etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. Untreated CHDL may be associated with damage to the i... Read More about Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life.

Journal Article
Ho, N. A. T., Dawes, S. S., Crowe, A. M., Casabon, I., Gao, C., Kendall, S. L., …Lott, J. S. (2016). The Structure of the Transcriptional Repressor KstR in Complex with CoA Thioester Cholesterol Metabolites Sheds Light on the Regulation of Cholesterol Catabolism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 291(14), 7256-7266. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M115.707760

Cholesterol can be a major carbon source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis during infection, both at an early stage in the macrophage phagosome and later within the necrotic granuloma. KstR is a highly conserved TetR family transcriptional repressor tha...

Farmer Attitudes and Livestock Disease: Exploring Citizenship Behaviour and Peer Monitoring across Two BVD Control Schemes in the UK (2016)
Journal Article
Heffernan, C., Azbel-Jackson, L., Brownlie, J., & Gunn, G. (2016). Farmer Attitudes and Livestock Disease: Exploring Citizenship Behaviour and Peer Monitoring across Two BVD Control Schemes in the UK. PLoS ONE, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152295

The eradication of BVD in the UK is technically possible but appears to be socially untenable. The following study explored farmer attitudes to BVD control schemes in relation to advice networks and information sharing, shared aims and goals, motivat...

Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia? (2016)
Journal Article
Henning, J., Pfeiffer, D. U., Stevenson, M., Yulianto, D., Priyono, W., & Meers, J. (2016). Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?. PLoS ONE, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152123

Duck populations are considered to be a reservoir of Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus H5N1 in some agricultural production systems, as they are able to shed the virus for several days without clinical signs. Countries endemically affect... Read More about Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?.

Teaching Tip: developing an intercollegiate Twitter forum to aid student exam study and the development of digital professionalism (2016)
Journal Article
