Development of clinical sign-based scoring system for assessment of omphalitis in neonatal calves (2018)
Journal Article
Steerforth, D., & Van Winden, S. C. L. (2018). Development of clinical sign-based scoring system for assessment of omphalitis in neonatal calves. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104213

Omphalitis contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in neonatal calves. Diagnosis of omphalitis is based on the local signs of inflammation—pain, swelling, local heat and purulent discharge. An abattoir trial identified an optimal, sign-b...

Diagnosis of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma in a dog using CD30 immunohistochemistry (2018)
Journal Article
Pittaway, R., Wu, Y., Suárez-Bonnet, A., Szladovits, B., Scurrell, E. J., Garden, O. A., …Priestnall, S. L. (2018). Diagnosis of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma in a dog using CD30 immunohistochemistry. Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, https://doi.org/10.1177/1040638718760965

Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma or null-cell lymphoma is a clinical entity reported in people, classified according to the unique appearance of large pleomorphic cells that express CD30. Null-cell lymphoma has also been described in dogs when neither... Read More about Diagnosis of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma in a dog using CD30 immunohistochemistry.

The companion dog as a model for human aging and mortality (2018)
Journal Article
Hoffman, J. M., Creevy, K. E., Franks, A., O'Neill, D. G., & Promislow, D. E. L. (2018). The companion dog as a model for human aging and mortality. Aging Cell, 17(3), e12737. https://doi.org/10.1111/acel.12737

Around the world, human populations have experienced large increases in average lifespan over the last 150 years, and while individuals are living longer, they are spending more years of life with multiple chronic morbidities. Researchers have used n... Read More about The companion dog as a model for human aging and mortality.

Proposal of serovars 17 and 18 of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae based on serological and genotypic analysis (2018)
Journal Article
Bossé, J. T., Li, Y., Sárközi, R., Fodor, L., Lacouture, S., Gottschalk, M., …Langford, P. R. (2018). Proposal of serovars 17 and 18 of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae based on serological and genotypic analysis. Veterinary Microbiology, 217, 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2018.02.019

The aim of this study was to investigate isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae previously designated serologically either as NT or as ‘K2:07’, which did not produce serovar-specific amplicons in PCR assays. We used whole genome sequencing to... Read More about Proposal of serovars 17 and 18 of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae based on serological and genotypic analysis.

Effectiveness of pneumatically powered penetrating and non-penetrating captive bolts in stunning cattle (2018)
Journal Article
Oliveira, S. E. O., Gregory, N. G., Costa, F. A. D., Gibson, T. J., Costa, O. A. D., & Da Costa, M. J. R. P. (2018). Effectiveness of pneumatically powered penetrating and non-penetrating captive bolts in stunning cattle. Meat Science, 140, 9-13. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meatsci.2018.02.010

This study assessed the effectiveness of penetrating (PCB; 190 psi; N = 363) and non-penetrating captive bolt guns (NPCB; 210–220 psi; N = 92) to stun a total of 455 cattle (Zebu and Zebu Cross). Physical bolt parameters (momentum, kinetic energy and... Read More about Effectiveness of pneumatically powered penetrating and non-penetrating captive bolts in stunning cattle.

Quantitative risk assessment of hepatitis E virus: modelling the occurrence of viraemic pigs and the presence of the virus in organs of food safety interest (2018)
Journal Article
Crotta, M., Lavazza, A., Mateus, A. L. P., & Guitian, J. (2018). Quantitative risk assessment of hepatitis E virus: modelling the occurrence of viraemic pigs and the presence of the virus in organs of food safety interest. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mran.2018.02.001

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic pathogen with consumption of pork and derived products identified in different countries as a risk factor for human exposure to HEV. Great efforts have been made to understand the dynamics of virus transmission w...
