Does ‘playtime’ reduce stimulus-seeking and other boredom-like behaviour in laboratory ferrets? (2020)
Journal Article
Burn, C. C., Raffle, J., & Bizley, J. K. (2020). Does ‘playtime’ reduce stimulus-seeking and other boredom-like behaviour in laboratory ferrets?

Much environmental enrichment for laboratory animals is intended to enhance animal welfare and normalcy by providing stimulation to reduce ‘boredom’. Behavioural manifestations of boredom include restless sensation-seeking behaviours combined with in...

From Unpleasant to Unbearable - Why And How to Implement an Upper Limit to Pain And Other Forms of Suffering in Research with Animals (2020)
Journal Article
Olsson, I. A. S., Nicol, C. J., Niemi, S. M., & Sandøe, P. (2020). From Unpleasant to Unbearable - Why And How to Implement an Upper Limit to Pain And Other Forms of Suffering in Research with Animals. ILAR Journal, https://doi.org/10.1093/ilar/ilz018

The focus of this paper is the requirement that the use of live animals in experiments and in vivo assays should never be allowed if those uses involve severe suffering. This requirement was first implemented in Danish legislation, was later adopted...

The 2012 World Health Organization (WHO) roadmap for neglected tropical diseases called f... Read More about Modelling for Taenia solium control strategies beyond 2020.

Sea lice exposure to non-lethal levels of emamectin benzoate after treatments: a potential risk factor for drug resistance (2020)
Journal Article
Lam, C. T., Rosanowski, S. M., Walker, M., & St-Hilaire, S. (2020). Sea lice exposure to non-lethal levels of emamectin benzoate after treatments: a potential risk factor for drug resistance. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-57594-7

The avermectin derivative emamectin benzoate (EMB) has been widely used by salmon industries around the world to control sea lice infestations. Resistance to this anti-parasitic drug is also commonly reported in these industries. The objective of thi...
