Inherited syndactyly in a Simmental suckler herd: a case report
Journal Article
Jeckel, S. J., Simkins, K., & Nevel, M. Inherited syndactyly in a Simmental suckler herd: a case report. Livestock, 13(4), 42-44. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2044-3870.2008.tb00173.x

This article describes the investigation of 6 cases of syndactyly in Simmental calves on the same farm in the UK [date not given]. All affected calves were healthy for the first 10 weeks of life but subsequently deteriorated and were euthanized. Gene...

Risk of anal furunculosis in German Shepherd dogs is associated with the major histocompatibility complex
Journal Article
Kennedy, L. J., O'Neill, T., House, A. K., Barnes, A., Kyostila, K., Innes, J., Fretwell, N., Day, M. J., Catchpole, B., Lohi, H., & Ollier, W. E. R. Risk of anal furunculosis in German Shepherd dogs is associated with the major histocompatibility complex. Tissue Antigens, 71(1), 51-56. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1399-0039.2007.00964.x

Anal furunculosis (AF) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease of the perianal tissues most frequently affecting middle-aged or older German Shepherd dogs (GSD). Because this breed accounts for over 80% of all reported cases, there is likely t...

Analysis of biochemical markers of bone metabolism in asian elephants (elephas maximus)
Journal Article
Kilgallon, C., Flach, E., Boardman, W., Routh, A., Strike, T., & Jackson, B. F. Analysis of biochemical markers of bone metabolism in asian elephants (elephas maximus). Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 39(4), 527-536

Two human enzyme immunoassays (EIA) and one radioimmunoassay (RIA) were validated and used to measure osteocalcin (OC), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and the cross-linked telopeptide domain of type I collagen (ICTP), in serum from Asian elephants...

Host species-specific usage of the TLR4-LPS receptor complex
Journal Article
Lizundia, R., Sauter, K. S., Taylor, G., & Werling, D. Host species-specific usage of the TLR4-LPS receptor complex. Innate Immunity, 14(4), 223-231. https://doi.org/10.1177/1753425908095957

Recognition of LIPS depends on the interaction of at least three molecules forming the LPS-receptor complex. The Most important ones, CD14. MD2 and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 share a high degree of homology between species. In the present study, we i... Read More about Host species-specific usage of the TLR4-LPS receptor complex.
