Journal Article
Mangesho, P. E., Neselle, M. O., Karimuribo, E. D., Mlangwa, J. E., Queenan, K., Mboera, L. E. G., Rushton, J., Kock, R. A., Haesler, B., Kiwara, A., & Rweyemamu, M. (2017). Exploring local knowledge and perceptions on zoonoses among pastoralists in northern and eastern Tanzania. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 11(2), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0005345

Background: Zoonoses account for the most commonly reported emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is limited knowledge on how pastoral communities perceive zoonoses in relation to their livelihoods, cultur...

Journal Article
Mahendran, S. A., Huxley, J. N., Chang, Y. M., Burnell, M., Barrett, D. C., Whay, H. R., Blackmore, T. L., Mason, C. S., & Bell, N. J. (2017). Randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effect of foot trimming before and after first calving on subsequent lameness episodes and productivity in dairy heifers. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2017.01.011

The objective of this study was to assess both independent and combined effects of routine foot trimming of heifers at 3 weeks pre-calving and 100 days post calving on the first lactation lameness and lactation productivity. A total of 419 pre-calvin...

Using geographically weighted regression to explore the spatially heterogeneous spread of bovine tuberculosis in England and Wales (2017)
Journal Article
Brunton, L. A., Alexander, N., Wint, W., Ashton, A., & Broughan, J. M. (2017). Using geographically weighted regression to explore the spatially heterogeneous spread of bovine tuberculosis in England and Wales. Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 31(2), 339-352. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00477-016-1320-9

An understanding of the factors that affect the spread of endemic bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is critical for the development of measures to stop and reverse this spread. Analyses of spatial data need to account for the inherent spatial heterogeneity w...
