Characterization of novel microneme adhesive repeats (MAR) in Eimeria tenella (2017)
Journal Article
Marugan-Hernandez, V., Fiddy, R., Nurse-Francis, J., Smith, O., Pritchard, L., & Tomley, F. M. (2017). Characterization of novel microneme adhesive repeats (MAR) in Eimeria tenella. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-017-2454-4

In this study, we evaluated the binding capacity of Type I MAR domains from novel E. tenella MCPs. Variants of the previously described HxT motif were analysed showing that HxT and VxT variants bind, whereas HxS and YxE variants did not. One of these...

Journal Article
Rosanowski, S. M., Chang, Y. M., Stirk, A. J., & Verheyen, K. L. P. (2017). Risk factors for race-day fatality, distal limb fracture and epistaxis in Thoroughbreds racing on all-weather surfaces in Great Britain (2000 to 2013).

The incidence of race-day injuries in Great Britain (GB) is higher on all-weather (AW) surfaces than on turf. However, to date no studies have focused on identifying risk factors for injury specific to AW racing. Therefore, the objective of the curre...
