Co-circulation of genetically distinct highly pathogenic avian influenza A clade 2.3.4.4 (H5N6) viruses in wild waterfowl and poultry in Europe and East Asia, 2017–18 (2019)
Journal Article
Poen, M. J., Venkatesh, D., Bestebroer, T. M., Vuong, O., Scheuer, R. D., Oude Munnink, B. B., …Lewis, N. S. (2019). Co-circulation of genetically distinct highly pathogenic avian influenza A clade 2.3.4.4 (H5N6) viruses in wild waterfowl and poultry in Europe and East Asia, 2017–18. Virus Evolution, 5(1), vez004. https://doi.org/10.1093/ve/vez004

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 clade 2.3.4.4 viruses were first introduced into Europe in late 2014 and re-introduced in late 2016, following detections in Asia and Russia. In contrast to the 2014–15 H5N8 wave, there was substantial loca...

Use of molecular and genomic data for disease surveillance in aquaculture: Towards improved evidence for decision making (2019)
Journal Article
Staerk, K. D. C., Pekala, A., & Muellner, P. (2019). Use of molecular and genomic data for disease surveillance in aquaculture: Towards improved evidence for decision making. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 167, 190-195. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2018.04.011

Diagnostic tools for the identification and confirmation of animal diseases have been evolving rapidly over the last decade, with diseases of aquatic animals being no exception. Hence, case definitions used in surveillance may now include molecular a...

The Use of Garlic Oil for Olfactory Enrichment Increases the Use of Ropes in Weaned Pigs (2019)
Journal Article
Blackie, N., & De Sousa, M. (2019). The Use of Garlic Oil for Olfactory Enrichment Increases the Use of Ropes in Weaned Pigs. Animals, 9(4), 148. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani9040148

Pig producers are required to provide environmental enrichment to provide pigs the opportunity to perform investigative and manipulative behaviours (EU directive 2001/93/EC). Preventing enrichment from losing its novelty and decreasing the rate at wh... Read More about The Use of Garlic Oil for Olfactory Enrichment Increases the Use of Ropes in Weaned Pigs.

Integrating Agriculture and Health Research for Development: LCIRAH as an Interdisciplinary Programme to Address a Global Challenge (2019)
Journal Article
Waage, J., Cornelsen, L., Dangour, A. D., Green, R., Haesler, B., Hull, E., …Walls, H. L. (2019). Integrating Agriculture and Health Research for Development: LCIRAH as an Interdisciplinary Programme to Address a Global Challenge. https://doi.org/10.1002/gch2.201700104

The multiple burdens of persistent undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, along with the rapidly growing rates of overweight, obesity, and associated chronic diseases, are major challenges globally. The role of agriculture and the food system... Read More about Integrating Agriculture and Health Research for Development: LCIRAH as an Interdisciplinary Programme to Address a Global Challenge.

Clinical features, anaesthetic management and perioperative complications seen in three horses with pheochromocytoma (2019)
Journal Article
Norgate, D. J., Foster, A., Dunkel, B., Spiro, S., & Veres-Nyeki, K. O. (2019). Clinical features, anaesthetic management and perioperative complications seen in three horses with pheochromocytoma. https://doi.org/10.1136/vetreccr-2018-000744

Three horses presenting with colic signs to the Equine Referral Hospital at The Royal Veterinary College underwent general anaesthesia between September 2013 and November 2017 for emergency exploratory laparotomy. No obvious cause for the colic signs... Read More about Clinical features, anaesthetic management and perioperative complications seen in three horses with pheochromocytoma.

Fate of CMY-2-encoding plasmids introduced into the human fecal microbiota by exogenous Escherichia coli (2019)
Journal Article
Anjum, M., Madsen, J. S., Nesme, J., Jana, B., Wiese, M., Jasinskyte, D., …Guardabassi, L. (2019). Fate of CMY-2-encoding plasmids introduced into the human fecal microbiota by exogenous Escherichia coli. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 63(5), https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.02528-18

The gut is a hot spot for transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from ingested exogenous bacteria to the indigenous microbiota. The objective of this study was to determine the fate of two nearly identical blaCMY-2-harboring plasmids introduced into...

Species identity dominates over environment in shaping the microbiota of small mammals (2019)
Journal Article
Knowles, S. C. L., Eccles, R. M., & Baltrunaite, L. (2019). Species identity dominates over environment in shaping the microbiota of small mammals. Ecology Letters, 22(5), 826-837. https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.13240

The mammalian gut microbiota is considered pivotal to host fitness, yet the determinants of community composition remain poorly understood. Laboratory studies show that environmental factors, particularly diet, are important, while comparative work e...
