Combining Genome Wide Association Studies and Differential Gene Expression Data Analyses Identifies Candidate Genes Affecting Mastitis Caused by Two Different Pathogens in the Dairy Cow (2015)
Journal Article
Chen, X., Cheng, Z. R., Zhang, S., Werling, D., & Wathes, D. C. (2015). Combining Genome Wide Association Studies and Differential Gene Expression Data Analyses Identifies Candidate Genes Affecting Mastitis Caused by Two Different Pathogens in the Dairy Cow. Open Journal of Animal Sciences, 5(4), 358-393. https://doi.org/10.4236/ojas.2015.54040

Mastitis is a costly disease which hampers the dairy industry. Inflammation of the mammary gland is commonly caused by bacterial infection, mainly Escherichia coli, Streptococcus uberis and Staphylococcus aureus. As more bacteria become multi-drug re...

bak deletion stimulates gastric epithelial proliferation and enhances Helicobacter felis-induced gastric atrophy and dysplasia in mice (2015)
Journal Article
Duckworth, C. A., Abuderman, A. A., Burkitt, M. D., Williams, J. M., O'Reilly, L. A., & Pritchard, D. M. (2015). bak deletion stimulates gastric epithelial proliferation and enhances Helicobacter felis-induced gastric atrophy and dysplasia in mice. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpgi.00404.2014

Helicobacter infection causes a chronic superficial gastritis that in some cases progresses via atrophic gastritis to adenocarcinoma. Proapoptotic bak has been shown to regulate radiation-induced apoptosis in the stomach and colon and also susceptibi...

Population, genetic, and antigenic diversity of the apicomplexan Eimeria tenella and their relevance to vaccine development (2015)
Journal Article
Blake, D. P., Clark, E. L., Macdonald, S. E., Thenmozhi, V., Kundu, K., Garg, R., …Tomley, F. M. (2015). Population, genetic, and antigenic diversity of the apicomplexan Eimeria tenella and their relevance to vaccine development. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1506468112

The phylum Apicomplexa includes serious pathogens of humans and animals. Understanding the distribution and population structure of these protozoan parasites is of fundamental importance to explain disease epidemiology and develop sustainable control...

Relationships between Circulating Urea Concentrations and Endometrial Function in Postpartum Dairy Cows (2015)
Journal Article
Cheng, Z. R., Oguejiofor, C. F., Swangchan-Uthai, T., Carr, S., & Wathes, D. C. (2015). Relationships between Circulating Urea Concentrations and Endometrial Function in Postpartum Dairy Cows. Animals, 5(3), 748-773. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani5030382

Both high and low circulating urea concentrations, a product of protein metabolism, are associated with decreased fertility in dairy cows through poorly defined mechanisms. The rate of involution and the endometrial ability to mount an adequate innat...

Outbreak of encephalitic listeriosis in red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) (2015)
Journal Article
Jeckel, S. J., Wood, A., Grant, K., Amar, C., King, S. A., Whatmore, A. M., …Welchman, D. D. B. (2015). Outbreak of encephalitic listeriosis in red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa). Avian Pathology, 44(4), 269-277. https://doi.org/10.1080/03079457.2015.1042427

An outbreak of neurological disease was investigated in red-legged partridges between 8 and 28 days of age. Clinical signs included torticollis, head tilt and incoordination and over an initial eight day period approximately 30–40 fatalities occurred...
