Leveraging human nutrition through livestock interventions: perceptions, knowledge, barriers and opportunities in the Sahel (2019)
Journal Article
Dominguez-Salas, P., Kauffmann, D., Breyne, C., & Alarcon, P. (2019). Leveraging human nutrition through livestock interventions: perceptions, knowledge, barriers and opportunities in the Sahel. Food Security, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12571-019-00957-4

The potential of livestock and animal-source foods (ASF) to improve nutrition of vulnerable households in the Sahel countries is large, but currently underutilised, despite the dependence of human nutrition on livestock in some areas. This study asse... Read More about Leveraging human nutrition through livestock interventions: perceptions, knowledge, barriers and opportunities in the Sahel.

How should we store avian faecal samples for microbiota analyses? Comparing efficacy and cost-effectiveness (2019)
Journal Article
Vargas-Pellicer, P., Watrobska, C., Knowles, S. C. L., Schroeder, J., & Banks-Leite, C. (2019). How should we store avian faecal samples for microbiota analyses? Comparing efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Journal of Microbiological Methods, 165, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mimet.2019.105689

Analyses of bacterial DNA in faecal samples are becoming ever more common, yet we still do not know much about bird microbiomes. These challenges partly lie in the unique chemical nature of their faeces, and in the choice of sample storage method, wh...

Associations between neutering and idiopathic epilepsy in Labrador retrievers and Border collies under primary veterinary care in the UK (2019)
Journal Article
Van Meervenne, S. A. E., Volk, H. A., Verhoeven, P. S., Van Ham, L., & O'Neill, D. G. (2019). Associations between neutering and idiopathic epilepsy in Labrador retrievers and Border collies under primary veterinary care in the UK. The Veterinary Journal, 252, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2019.105354

There are sparse published scientific data on associations between neutering and the severity and survival of dogs with idiopathic epilepsy. This study aimed to explore the timing of neutering with respect to onset of seizures in dogs with idiopathic...

Identification and geographical distribution of pyrethroid resistance mutations in the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae (2019)
Journal Article
Katsavou, E., Vlogiannitis, S., Karp-Tatham, E., Blake, D. P., Ilias, A., Strube, C., …Vontas, J. (2019). Identification and geographical distribution of pyrethroid resistance mutations in the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae. Pest Management Science, https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.5582

The poultry red mite (PRM) Dermanyssus gallinae is the most common ectoparasite on poultry and causes high economic losses in poultry farming worldwide. Pyrethroid acaricides have been widely used for its control and, consequently, pyrethroid resista...

Poultry trading behaviours in Vietnamese live bird markets as risk factors for avian influenza infection in chickens (2019)
Journal Article
Sealy, J. E., Fournié, G., Trang, P. H., Dang, N. H., Sadeyen, J., Thanh, T. L., …Iqbal, M. (2019). Poultry trading behaviours in Vietnamese live bird markets as risk factors for avian influenza infection in chickens. Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, https://doi.org/10.1111/tbed.13308

Vietnamese poultry are host to co‐circulating subtypes of avian influenza viruses, including H5N1 and H9N2, which pose a great risk to poultry productivity and to human health. AIVs circulate throughout the poultry trade network in Vietnam, with live...

The association between child Schistosoma spp. infections and morbidity in an irrigated rice region in Mali: a localized study (2019)
Journal Article
Mutombo, N., Landouré, A., Young Man, W., Fenwick, A., Dembélé, R., Sacko, M., …McLaws, M. (2019). The association between child Schistosoma spp. infections and morbidity in an irrigated rice region in Mali: a localized study. Acta Tropica, 199, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actatropica.2019.105115

Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases endemic to Mali. There has been insufficient investigation of the morbidity burden in highly endemic irrigated rice areas with the ongoing mass drug administration with praziquantel. In Februa...
