Journal Article
Lewis, N. S., Anderson, T. K., Kitikoon, P., Skepner, E., Burke, D. F., & Vincent, A. L. (2014). Substitutions near the hemagglutinin receptor-binding site determine the antigenic evolution of influenza A H3N2 viruses in U.S. swine. Journal of Virology, 88(9), 4752-63. https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.03805-13

Swine influenza A virus is an endemic and economically important pathogen in pigs, with the potential to infect other host species. The hemagglutinin (HA) protein is the primary target of protective immune responses and the major component in swine i...

The reliability of observational approaches for detecting interspecific parasite interactions: comparison with experimental results (2014)
Journal Article
Fenton, A., Knowles, S. C. L., Petchey, O. L., & Pedersen, A. B. (2014). The reliability of observational approaches for detecting interspecific parasite interactions: comparison with experimental results. International Journal for Parasitology, 44(7), 437-45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpara.2014.03.001

Interactions among coinfecting parasites have the potential to alter host susceptibility to infection, the progression of disease and the efficacy of disease control measures. It is therefore essential to be able to accurately infer the occurrence an...

Relationships between metabolite and IGF1 concentrations with fertility and production outcomes following left abomasal displacement (2014)
Journal Article
Lyons, N. A., Cooke, J. S., Wilson, S., Van Winden, S. C. L., Gordon, P. J., & Wathes, D. C. (2014). Relationships between metabolite and IGF1 concentrations with fertility and production outcomes following left abomasal displacement. Veterinary Record, 174(26), 657-+. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.102119

Left displacement of the abomasum (LDA) is an important periparturient disorder of dairy cows. This study evaluated differences in metabolic parameters between case-control pairs of cows (n=67) from 24 farms, and related these to outcomes in fertilit...
