Journal Article
Carron, M., Chang, Y. M., Momanyi, K., Akoko, J., Kiiru, J., Bettridge, J. M., …Haesler, B. (2018). Campylobacter, a zoonotic pathogen of global importance: Prevalence and risk factors in the fast-evolving chicken meat system of Nairobi, Kenya. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 12(8), e0006658. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0006658

Campylobacteriosis is a leading foodborne zoonosis worldwide, and is frequently associated with handling and consumption of poultry meat. Various studies indicate that Campylobacter causes a substantial human disease burden in low to middle-income co...

Invited review: Bioinformatic methods to discover the likely causal variant of a new autosomal recessive genetic condition using genome-wide data (2018)
Journal Article
Pollott, G. E. (2018). Invited review: Bioinformatic methods to discover the likely causal variant of a new autosomal recessive genetic condition using genome-wide data. animal, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1751731118001970

In animals, new autosomal recessive genetic diseases (ARGD) arise all the time due to the regular, random mutations that occur during meiosis. In order to reduce the effect of any damaging new variant, it is necessary to find its cause. To evaluate t...

Observational Study Design in Veterinary Pathology, Part 1: Study Design (2018)
Journal Article
Caswell, J. L., Bassel, L. L., Rothenburger, J. L., Gröne, A., Sargeant, J. M., Beck, A. P., …Yamate, J. (2018). Observational Study Design in Veterinary Pathology, Part 1: Study Design. Veterinary Pathology, 55(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0300985818785705

Observational studies are the basis for much of our knowledge of veterinary pathology and are highly relevant to the daily practice of pathology. However, recommendations for conducting pathology-based observational studies are not readily available.... Read More about Observational Study Design in Veterinary Pathology, Part 1: Study Design.

Livestock trade network: potential for disease transmission and implications for risk-based surveillance on the island of Mayotte (2018)
Journal Article
Kim, Y., Dommergues, L., M'sa, A. B., Mérot, P., Cardinale, E., Edmunds, J., …Métras, R. (2018). Livestock trade network: potential for disease transmission and implications for risk-based surveillance on the island of Mayotte. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-29999-y

The island of Mayotte is a department of France, an outermost region of the European Union located in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and the coast of Eastern Africa. Due to its close connection to the African mainland and neighbouring islands, t...

Vaccines as alternatives to antibiotics for food producing animals. Part 2: new approaches and potential solutions (2018)
Journal Article
Hoelzer, K., Bielke, L., Blake, D. P., Cox, E., Cutting, S. M., Devriendt, B., …Van Immerseel, F. (2018). Vaccines as alternatives to antibiotics for food producing animals. Part 2: new approaches and potential solutions. BMC Veterinary Research, 49(70), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-018-0561-7

Vaccines and other alternative products are central to the future success of animal agriculture because they can help minimize the need for antibiotics by preventing and controlling infectious diseases in animal populations. To assess scientific adva... Read More about Vaccines as alternatives to antibiotics for food producing animals. Part 2: new approaches and potential solutions.
