Journal Article
Boulton, K., Nolan, M. J., Wu, Z., Riggio, V., Matika, O., Harman, K., …Psifidi, A. (2018). Dissecting the Genomic Architecture of Resistance to Eimeria maxima Parasitism in the Chicken. Frontiers in Genetics, 9, https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2018.00528

Coccidiosis in poultry, caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, is an intestinal disease with substantial economic impact. With the use of anticoccidial drugs under public and political pressure, and the comparatively higher cost of live-...

Genetic diversity and population structure of Angiostrongylus vasorum parasites within and between local urban foxes (Vulpes Vulpes) (2018)
Journal Article
Blanch-Lazaro, B., Mitton, Z., Tudor, C., Hindle, J., Martineau, H., Fox, M. T., & Blake, D. P. (2018). Genetic diversity and population structure of Angiostrongylus vasorum parasites within and between local urban foxes (Vulpes Vulpes). Veterinary Parasitology, 262, 42-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2018.09.008

Angiostrongylus vasorum is a nematode parasite of the pulmonary arteries and heart that infects domestic and wild canids. Dogs (Canis familiaris) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are the most commonly affected definitive hosts. Recent studies suggest th...

Vaccines as alternatives to antibiotics for food producing animals. Part 2: new approaches and potential solutions (2018)
Journal Article
Hoelzer, K., Bielke, L., Blake, D. P., Cox, E., Cutting, S. M., Devriendt, B., …Van Immerseel, F. (2018). Vaccines as alternatives to antibiotics for food producing animals. Part 2: new approaches and potential solutions. BMC Veterinary Research, 49(70), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-018-0561-7

Vaccines and other alternative products are central to the future success of animal agriculture because they can help minimize the need for antibiotics by preventing and controlling infectious diseases in animal populations. To assess scientific adva... Read More about Vaccines as alternatives to antibiotics for food producing animals. Part 2: new approaches and potential solutions.

Journal Article
Serna, H., Pocknell, A., Sainsbury, A. W., Peniche, G., Blake, D. P., & Beckmann, K. M. (2018). Eimeria spp. in captive-reared corncrakes (Crex crex): results of GeneScan assay consistent with high prevalence of infection and extra-intestinal life stages. Avian Pathology, https://doi.org/10.1080/03079457.2018.1451621

Eimeria crecis and Eimeria nenei have been detected in association with enteric disease (‘coccidiosis’) in the corncrake (Crex crex: Family Rallidae, Order Gruiformes). Both parasite species are common in apparently healthy free-living corncrakes, bu...
