A histopathologic and immunohistochemical review of archived UK caprine scrapie cases
Journal Article
Dustan, B. H., Spencer, Y. I., Casalone, C., Brownlie, J., & Simmons, M. M. A histopathologic and immunohistochemical review of archived UK caprine scrapie cases. Veterinary Pathology, 45(4), 443-454

In 2005, a prion disease identified in a goat from France was reported to be consistent with disease from the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent. Subsequent retrospective examination of UK goat scrapie cases led to the identification of one...

Days lost from training by two- and three-year-old Thoroughbred horses: A survey of seven UK training yards
Journal Article
Dyson, P. K., Jackson, B. F., Pfeiffer, D. U., & Price, J. S. Days lost from training by two- and three-year-old Thoroughbred horses: A survey of seven UK training yards. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(7), 650-657. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x363242

Reasons for performing study: The first major epidemiological study of injury incidence in the UK flat racing Thoroughbred (TB), published in 1985, found lameness to be the single largest reason for days when horses failed to train. It was considered... Read More about Days lost from training by two- and three-year-old Thoroughbred horses: A survey of seven UK training yards.

Canine respiratory coronavirus: an emerging pathogen in the canine infectious respiratory disease complex
Journal Article
Erles, K., & Brownlie, J. Canine respiratory coronavirus: an emerging pathogen in the canine infectious respiratory disease complex. https://doi.org/10.1016/i.cvsm.2008.02.008

Infectious respiratory disease in dogs is a constant challenge because of the involvement of several pathogens and environmental factors. Canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV) is a new coronavirus of dogs, which is widespread in North America, Japan...

Clinical investigation of a point-of-care blood ammonia analyzer
Journal Article
Goggs, R. A., Serrano, S., Szladovits, B., Keir, I., Ong, R., & Hughes, D. Clinical investigation of a point-of-care blood ammonia analyzer. Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 37(2), 198-206. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1939-165X.2008.00024.x

Background: Hyperammonemia has frequently been implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy. Blood ammonia determination requires minimal delay between sampling and analysis for accurate results. Objectives: The aim of this study was to i...

Plasmid selection in Escherichia coli using an endogenous essential gene marker
Journal Article
Goh, S., & Good, L. Plasmid selection in Escherichia coli using an endogenous essential gene marker. BMC Biotechnology, 8(61), https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6750-8-61

Background: Antibiotic resistance genes are widely used for selection of recombinant bacteria, but their use risks contributing to the spread of antibiotic resistance. In particular, the practice is inappropriate for some intrinsically resistant bact... Read More about Plasmid selection in Escherichia coli using an endogenous essential gene marker.

Development and application of a novel environmental preference chamber for assessing responses of laboratory mice to atmospheric ammonia
Journal Article
Green, A. R., Wathes, C. M., Demmers, T. G. M., Clark, J. M., & Xin, H. W. Development and application of a novel environmental preference chamber for assessing responses of laboratory mice to atmospheric ammonia

A novel environmental preference chamber (EPC) was developed and used to assess responses of laboratory mice to atmospheric ammonia. The EPC features 1) a test chamber with 4 individually ventilated, mutually accessible compartments; b) automated tra...
