The macrofilaricidal efficacy of repeated doses of ivermectin for the treatment of river blindness (2017)
Journal Article
Walker, M., Pion, S. D. S., Fang, H., Gardon, J., Kamgno, J., Basáñez, M.-G., & Boussinesq, M. (2017). The macrofilaricidal efficacy of repeated doses of ivermectin for the treatment of river blindness. Clinical Infectious Diseases, 65(12), 2026-2034. https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/cix616

Background: Mass drug administration (MDA) with ivermectin is the cornerstone of efforts to eliminate human onchocerciasis by 2020 or 2025. The feasibility of elimination crucially depends on the effects of multiple ivermectin doses on Onchocerca vol...

Bestial boredom: a biological perspective on animal boredom and suggestions for its scientific investigation (2017)
Journal Article
Burn, C. C. (2017). Bestial boredom: a biological perspective on animal boredom and suggestions for its scientific investigation. Animal Behaviour, 130, 141-151. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.06.006

Boredom is likely to have adaptive value in motivating exploration and learning, and many animals may possess the basic neurological mechanisms to support it. Chronic inescapable boredom can be extremely aversive, and understimulation can harm neural...

The effects of intrauterine infusion of peanut oil on endometrial health, salivary cortisol and interovulatory period in mares (2017)
Journal Article
Campbell, M. L. H., Hampshire, D., Hamstead, L., Rose, B., Smith, K. C., & De Mestre, A. M. (2017). The effects of intrauterine infusion of peanut oil on endometrial health, salivary cortisol and interovulatory period in mares. Theriogenology, 102, 116-125. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2017.07.009

Intrauterine infusion of peanut oil at Day 10 post-ovulation has been reported to prolong dioestrus in mares. However, the effects of peanut oil treatment on the endometrium and whether the technique is painful have not been assessed. The objectives...

PLoS ONE, 12(7), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179878

Since 2007, mortality associated with a previously unreported haemorrhagic disease has been observed in young calves in several European countries. The syndrome, which has been named ‘bovine neonatal pancytopenia’ (BNP), is characterised by thrombocy...

Eimeria spp. are intracellular parasites that have a major impact on poultry. Effective live vaccines are available and the development of reverse genetic technologies has raised the prospect of using Eimeria spp. as recombinant vectors to express ad...

Associations between EP-like lesions and pleuritis and post trimming carcass weights of finishing pigs in England (2017)
Journal Article

Herd health slaughter checks regularly identify enzootic pneumonia-like (EP-like) lesions and pleuritis. The aim of this paper is to determine the associations between these lesions and post-trimming carcass weight. Data were collected on the presenc...
