Associations between clinical canine leishmaniosis and multiple vector-borne co-infections: a case-control serological study (2019)
Journal Article
Attipa, C., Solano-Gallego, L., Leutenegger, C. M., Papasouliotis, K., Soutter, F., Balzer, J., Carver, S., Buch, J. S., & Tasker, S. (2019). Associations between clinical canine leishmaniosis and multiple vector-borne co-infections: a case-control serological study. BMC Veterinary Research, 15(331), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-019-2083-6

Dogs that have clinical leishmaniosis (ClinL), caused by the parasite Leishmania infantum, are commonly co-infected with other pathogens, especially vector-borne pathogens (VBP). A recent PCR-based study found that ClinL dogs are more likely to be ad...

Phenotypic characterisation of regulatory T cells in dogs reveals signature transcripts conserved in humans and mice (2019)
Journal Article
Ying Wu, Chang, Y. M., Stell, A. J., Priestnall, S. L., Sharma, E., Goulart, M. R., Gribben, J., Xia, D., & Garden, O. A. (2019). Phenotypic characterisation of regulatory T cells in dogs reveals signature transcripts conserved in humans and mice. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-50065-8

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a double-edged regulator of the immune system. Aberrations of Tregs correlate with pathogenesis of inflammatory, autoimmune and neoplastic disorders. Phenotypically and functionally distinct subsets of Tregs have been i...

Persian cats under first opinion veterinary care in the UK: demography, mortality and disorders (2019)
Journal Article
O'Neill, D. G., Romans, C., Brodbelt, D. C., Church, D. B., Cerna, P., & Gunn-Moore, D. A. (2019). Persian cats under first opinion veterinary care in the UK: demography, mortality and disorders. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-49317-4

Persian cats are a popular cat breed worldwide, and especially in the US, Europe and Asia. This study aimed to describe the demography, common disorders and mortality in Persians under general practice veterinary care in 2013 in the UK. The study pop...

Mini-FLOTAC as an alternative, non-invasive diagnostic tool for Schistosoma mansoni and other trematode infections in wildlife reservoirs (2019)
Journal Article
Catalano, S., Symeou, A., Marsh, K. J., Borlase, A., Léger, E., Fall, C. B., Sène, M., Diouf, N. D., Ianniello, D., Cringoli, G., Rinaldi, L., Bâ, K., & Webster, J. P. (2019). Mini-FLOTAC as an alternative, non-invasive diagnostic tool for Schistosoma mansoni and other trematode infections in wildlife reservoirs. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-019-3613-6

Schistosomiasis and food-borne trematodiases are not only of major public health concern, but can also have profound implications for livestock production and wildlife conservation. The zoonotic, multi-host nature of many digenean trematodes is a sig...
