Bioinformatic Analysis of the Campylobacter jejuni Type VI Secretion System and Effector Prediction (2021)
Journal Article
Robinson, L., Liaw, J., Omole, Z., Xia, D., van Vliet, A., Corcionivoschi, N., …Gundogdu, O. (2021). Bioinformatic Analysis of the Campylobacter jejuni Type VI Secretion System and Effector Prediction. Frontiers in Microbiology, 12, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2021.694824

The Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) has important roles relating to bacterial antagonism, subversion of host cells, and niche colonisation. Campylobacter jejuni is one of the leading bacterial causes of human gastroenteritis worldwide and is a commen...

The translocator protein (TSPO) is prodromal to mitophagy loss in neurotoxicity (2021)
Journal Article
Frison, M., Faccenda, D., Abeti, R., Rigon, M., Strobbe, D., England-Rendon, B., …Campanella, M. (2021). The translocator protein (TSPO) is prodromal to mitophagy loss in neurotoxicity. Molecular Psychiatry, 26(7), 2721-2739. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-021-01050-z

Dysfunctional mitochondria characterise Parkinson's Disease (PD). Uncovering etiological molecules, which harm the homeostasis of mitochondria in response to pathological cues, is therefore pivotal to inform early diagnosis and therapy in the conditi...

Accuracy of history, physical examination, cardiac biomarkers, and biochemical variables in identifying dogs with stage B2 degenerative mitral valve disease (2021)
Journal Article
Wilshaw, J., Rosenthal, S., Wess, G., Dickson, D., Bevilacqua, L., Dutton, E., …Boswood, A. (2021). Accuracy of history, physical examination, cardiac biomarkers, and biochemical variables in identifying dogs with stage B2 degenerative mitral valve disease. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 35(2), 755-770. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.16083

Background Treatment is indicated in dogs with preclinical degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) and cardiomegaly (stage B2). This is best diagnosed using echocardiography; however, relying upon this limits access to accurate diagnosis. Objectives...

Probing Differences in Gene Essentiality Between the Human and Animal Adapted Lineages of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Using TnSeq (2021)
Journal Article
Gibson, A., Passmore, I., Faulkner, V., Xia, D., Nobeli, I., Stiens, J., …Kendall, S. (2021). Probing Differences in Gene Essentiality Between the Human and Animal Adapted Lineages of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Using TnSeq. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 8, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2021.760717

Members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) show distinct host adaptations, preferences and phenotypes despite being >99% identical at the nucleic acid level. Previous studies have explored gene expression changes between the members, ho...

Journal Article
Attree, E., Sanchez-Arsuaga, G., Jones, M., Xia, D., -Hernandez, M., Blake, D., & Tomley, F. (2021). Controlling the causative agents of coccidiosis in domestic chickens; an eye on the 1 past and considerations for the future 2. CAB Reviews: Perspectives in Agriculture, Veterinary Science, Nutrition and Natural Resources, https://doi.org/10.1186/s43170-021-00056-5

Coccidiosis is a potentially severe enteritis caused by species of obligate intracellular parasites of the genus Eimeria. These parasites cause significant economic losses to the poultry industry, predominantly due to compromised efficiency of produc...

Genetic and biological characterisation of three cryptic Eimeria operational taxonomic units that infect chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) (2021)
Journal Article
Blake, D., Blake, D., Vrba, V., Xia, D., Xia, D., Tomley, F., …Tomley, F. (2021). Genetic and biological characterisation of three cryptic Eimeria operational taxonomic units that infect chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). International Journal for Parasitology,

More than 68 billion chickens were produced globally in 2018, emphasising their major contribution to the production of protein for human consumption, and the importance of their pathogens. Protozoan Eimeria species are the most economically signific...
