Integrated food safety and nutrition assessments in the dairy cattle value chain in Tanzania (2018)
Journal Article
Haesler, B., Msalya, G., Garza, M., Fornace, K. M., El Tholth, M., Kurwijila, L., …Grace, D. (2018). Integrated food safety and nutrition assessments in the dairy cattle value chain in Tanzania. Global Food Security, 18, 102-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gfs.2018.05.003

The consumption of even small amounts of animal-source foods has the potential to improve nutrition, especially in vulnerable households. However, scaling up their production bears food safety risks that are often overlooked due to a disconnect betwe...

Comparison of Alternative Meat Inspection Regimes for Pigs From Non-Controlled Housing – Considering the Cost of Error (2018)
Journal Article
Hansen, R. K., Nielsen, L. H., El Tholth, M., Haesler, B., Foddai, A., & Alban, L. (2018). Comparison of Alternative Meat Inspection Regimes for Pigs From Non-Controlled Housing – Considering the Cost of Error. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 5, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2018.00092

Denmark has not had cases of bovine tuberculosis (bovTB) for more than 30 years but is obliged by trade agreements to undertake traditional meat inspection (TMI) of finisher pigs from non-controlled housing to detect bovTB. TMI is associated with hig... Read More about Comparison of Alternative Meat Inspection Regimes for Pigs From Non-Controlled Housing – Considering the Cost of Error.

Quantifying direct and indirect contacts for the potential transmission of infection between species using a multilayer contact network (2018)
Journal Article
Silk, M., Drewe, J., Delahay, R. J., Weber, N., Steward, L., Wilson-Aggarwal, J., …McDonald, R. (2018). Quantifying direct and indirect contacts for the potential transmission of infection between species using a multilayer contact network. Behaviour, 155(7-9), https://doi.org/10.1163/1568539X-00003493

Detecting opportunities for between-species transmission of pathogens can be challenging, particularly if rare behaviours or environmental transmission are involved. We present a multilayer network framework to quantify transmission potential in mult...

epidemix-An interactive multi-model application for teaching and visualizing infectious disease transmission (2018)
Journal Article
Muellner, U., Fournié, G., Muellner, P., Ahlstrom, C., & Pfeiffer, D. U. (2018). epidemix-An interactive multi-model application for teaching and visualizing infectious disease transmission. Epidemics, 23, 49-54. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epidem.2017.12.003

Mathematical models of disease transmission are used to improve our understanding of patterns of infection and to identify factors influencing them. During recent public and animal health crises, such as pandemic influenza, Ebola, Zika, foot-and-mout...

Gallid herpesvirus 3 SB-1 strain as a recombinant viral vector for poultry vaccination (2018)
Journal Article
Sadigh, Y., Powers, C., Spiro, S., Pedrera, M., Broadbent, A., & Nair, V. (2018). Gallid herpesvirus 3 SB-1 strain as a recombinant viral vector for poultry vaccination. npj Vaccines, 3, 21. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41541-018-0056-6

Live herpesvirus-vectored vaccines are widely used in veterinary medicine to protect against many infectious diseases. In poultry, three strains of herpesvirus vaccines are used against Marek’s disease (MD). However, of these, only the herpesvirus of...

Whole genome amplification and exome sequencing of archived schistosome miracidia (2018)
Journal Article
Le Clec'H, W., Chevalier, F. D., McDew-White, M., Allan, F., Webster, B. L., Gouvras, A. N., …Anderson, T. J. (2018). Whole genome amplification and exome sequencing of archived schistosome miracidia. Parasitology, 145, 1739-1747. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182018000811

Adult schistosomes live in the blood vessels and cannot easily be sampled from humans, so archived miracidia larvae hatched from eggs expelled in feces or urine are commonly used for population genetic studies. Large collections of archived miracidia... Read More about Whole genome amplification and exome sequencing of archived schistosome miracidia.

Autoantibodies directed against the P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc) have been recently described in dogs affected with hypoadrenocorticism, consistent with an immune-mediated pathogenesis of this endocrinopathy. In human autoimmune Addison’...
