Lipopolysaccharide and toll-like receptor 4 in dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts (2015)
Journal Article
Tivers, M. S., Lipscomb, V. J., Smith, K. C., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., & House, A. K. (2015). Lipopolysaccharide and toll-like receptor 4 in dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2015.07.006

Surgical attenuation of a congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) results in increased portal vein perfusion, liver growth and clinical improvement. Portal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is implicated in liver regeneration via toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 medi...

Capture-recapture approaches and the surveillance of livestock diseases: A review (2015)
Journal Article
Vergne, T., Del Rio Vilas, V. J., Cameron, A., Dufour, B., & Grosbois, V. (2015). Capture-recapture approaches and the surveillance of livestock diseases: A review. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 120(3-4), 253-264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2015.04.003

In disease surveillance, capture–recapture approaches have been used to estimate the frequency of endemic diseases monitored by imperfect surveillance systems. A standard output of these techniques is an estimate of the sensitivity of the surveillanc... Read More about Capture-recapture approaches and the surveillance of livestock diseases: A review.

Exposure to environmental stressors result in increased viral load and further reduction of production parameters in pigs experimentally infected with PCV2b (2015)
Journal Article
Patterson, R., Nevel, M., Diaz, A. V., Martineau, H. M., Demmers, T. G. M., Browne, C., …Werling, D. (2015). Exposure to environmental stressors result in increased viral load and further reduction of production parameters in pigs experimentally infected with PCV2b. Veterinary Microbiology, 177(3-4), 261-269. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2015.03.010

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) has been identified as the essential, but not sole, underlying infectious component for PCV-associated diseases (PCVAD). Several co-factors have been suggested to convert an infection with PCV2 into the clinical signs...
