Journal Article
Niessen, S. J. M., Hazuchova, K., Powney, S. L., Guitian, J., Niessen, A. P. M., Pion, P. D., Shaw, J. A., & Church, D. B. (2017). The Big Pet Diabetes Survey: Perceived Frequency and Triggers for Euthanasia. Veterinary Sciences, 4(2), 27. https://doi.org/10.3390/vetsci4020027

Current pet diabetes mellitus (DM) treatment necessitates the active daily involvement of owners and can be costly. The current study aimed to investigate the owner population which opts for euthanasia instead of DM treatment. A survey was designed u...

Journal Article
Hinsu, A. T., Thakkar, J. R., Koringa, P. G., Vrba, V., Jakhesara, S. J., Psifidi, A., Guitian, J., Tomley, F. M., Rank, D. N., Raman, M., Joshi, C. G., & Blake, D. P. (in press). Illumina next generation sequencing for the analysis of Eimeria populations in commercial broilers and indigenous chickens. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2018.00176

Eimeria species parasites can cause the enteric disease coccidiosis, most notably in chickens where the economic and welfare implications are significant. Seven Eimeria species are recognized to infect chickens, although understanding of their region...
