Evaluation of the Immunoprotective Potential of Recombinant Paraflagellar Rod Proteins of Trypanosoma evansi in Mice (2020)
Journal Article
Maharana, B. R., Sudhakar, N. R., Jawalagatti, V., Saravanan, B. C., Blake, D. P., & Tewari, A. K. (2020). Evaluation of the Immunoprotective Potential of Recombinant Paraflagellar Rod Proteins of Trypanosoma evansi in Mice. Vaccines, 8(1), 84. https://doi.org/10.3390/vaccines8010084

Trypanosomosis, caused by Trypanosoma evansi, is an economically significant disease of livestock. Systematic antigenic variation by the parasite has undermined prospects for the development of a protective vaccine that targets the immunodominant sur...

Journal Article
Jones, B. P., Norman, B. F., Borrett, H. E., Attwood, S. W., Mondal, M. M. H., Walker, A. J., …Lawton, S. P. (2020). Divergence across mitochondrial genomes of sympatric members of the Schistosoma indicum group and clues into the evolution of Schistosoma spindale. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-57736-x

Schistosoma spindale and Schistosoma indicum are ruminant-infecting trematodes of the Schistosoma indicum group that are widespread across Southeast Asia. Though neglected, these parasites can cause major pathology and mortality to livestock leading...

Trends and clinico-epidemiological features of human rabies cases in Bangladesh 2006–2018 (2020)
Journal Article
Ghosh, S., Rana, M. S., Islam, M. K., Chowdhury, S., Haider, N., Kafi, M. A. H., …Jhora, S. T. (2020). Trends and clinico-epidemiological features of human rabies cases in Bangladesh 2006–2018. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-59109-w

Vaccinating dogs against rabies is an effective means of reducing human rabies. We subjected 1327 clinically diagnosed human rabies death and mass dog vaccination (MDV) data during 2006–2018 to quantify the impacts of MDV on human rabies incidence in...

Antibiotic resistance gene sharing networks and the effect of dietary nutritional content on the canine and feline gut resistome (2020)
Journal Article
Kim, Y., Leung, M. H. Y., Kwok, W., Fournié, G., Li, J., Lee, P. K. H., & Pfeiffer, D. U. (2020). Antibiotic resistance gene sharing networks and the effect of dietary nutritional content on the canine and feline gut resistome. https://doi.org/10.1186/s42523-020-0022-2

As one of the most densely populated microbial communities on Earth, the gut microbiota serves as an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), referred to as the gut resistome. Here, we investigated the association of dietary nutriti...

Does ‘playtime’ reduce stimulus-seeking and other boredom-like behaviour in laboratory ferrets? (2020)
Journal Article
Burn, C. C., Raffle, J., & Bizley, J. K. (2020). Does ‘playtime’ reduce stimulus-seeking and other boredom-like behaviour in laboratory ferrets?

Much environmental enrichment for laboratory animals is intended to enhance animal welfare and normalcy by providing stimulation to reduce ‘boredom’. Behavioural manifestations of boredom include restless sensation-seeking behaviours combined with in...

From Unpleasant to Unbearable - Why And How to Implement an Upper Limit to Pain And Other Forms of Suffering in Research with Animals (2020)
Journal Article
Olsson, I. A. S., Nicol, C. J., Niemi, S. M., & Sandøe, P. (2020). From Unpleasant to Unbearable - Why And How to Implement an Upper Limit to Pain And Other Forms of Suffering in Research with Animals. ILAR Journal, https://doi.org/10.1093/ilar/ilz018

The focus of this paper is the requirement that the use of live animals in experiments and in vivo assays should never be allowed if those uses involve severe suffering. This requirement was first implemented in Danish legislation, was later adopted...
