A genome-wide association study identifies novel candidate genes for susceptibility to diabetes mellitus in non-obese cats (2021)
Journal Article
Catchpole, B., Forcada, Y., Boursnell, M., & Church, D. (2021). A genome-wide association study identifies novel candidate genes for susceptibility to diabetes mellitus in non-obese cats. PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0259939

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common feline endocrinopathy, which is similar to human type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in terms of its pathophysiology. T2DM occurs due to peripheral insulin resistance and/or β-cell dysfunction. Several studies have identified ge...

Spatio-temporal distribution and agroecological factors associated with canine leptospirosis in Great Britain (2021)
Journal Article
Taylor, C., Brodbelt, D. C., Dobson, B. A., Catchpole, B., O'neill, D. G., & Stevens, K. B. (2021). Spatio-temporal distribution and agroecological factors associated with canine leptospirosis in Great Britain. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 193, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2021.105407

Leptospirosis is an important global zoonotic disease that affects a wide range of mammalian species. Canine leptospirosis outbreaks have been reported after flooding (eg. in Brazil and the United States of America) suggesting an environmental associ...
