Eimeria tenella is an intracellular protozoan parasite that infects the intestinal tracts of domestic fowl and causes coccidiosis, a serious and sometimes lethal enteritis. Eimeria falls in the same phylum (Apicomplexa) as several human and animal pa... Read More about Sequencing and analysis of chromosome 1 of Eimeria tenella reveals a unique segmental organisation.

Multiplex PCR that can distinguish between immunologically cross-reactive serovar 3, 6, and 8 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strains
Journal Article
Zhou, L., Jones, S. C. P., Angen, Ø., Bossé, J. T., Nash, J. H. E., Frey, J., Zhou, R., Chen, H. C., Kroll, J. S., Rycroft, A. N., & Langford, P. R. Multiplex PCR that can distinguish between immunologically cross-reactive serovar 3, 6, and 8 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strains. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 46(2), 800-803. https://doi.org/10.1128/jcm.01787-07

We describe a highly sensitive and specific multiplex PCR, based on capsular loci and the species specific apxIV gene, that unequivocally differentiates serovar 3, 6, and 8 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strains that are cross-reactive in convention...

Identification and functional characterization of a bovine orthologue to DC-SIGN
Journal Article
Yamakawa, Y., Pennelegion, C., Willcocks, S., Stalker, A., MacHugh, N., Burt, D., Coffey, T. J., & Werling, D. Identification and functional characterization of a bovine orthologue to DC-SIGN. Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 83(6), 1396-1403. https://doi.org/10.1189/jlb.0807523

Dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) C-type lectin is almost exclusively expressed at the cell surface of DC. In addition to its normal function facilitating contact of DC with T cells, DC-SIGN has been shown to bind a variet...

A TissueLyser system (QIAGEN) was used to rapidly and accurately estimate bluetongue virus "loads" in individual adult Culicoides sonorensis Wirth & Jones (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). The optimized homogenization program that was developed, involved s... Read More about Quantifying bluetongue virus in adult Culicoides biting midges (Diptera : Ceratopogonidae).
