Serological survey of wild cervids in England and Wales for bovine viral diarrhoea virus (2020)
Journal Article
Hardstaff, J., Hunt, H., Tugwell, L., Thomas, C., Elattar, L., Brownlie, J., & Booth, R. E. (2020). Serological survey of wild cervids in England and Wales for bovine viral diarrhoea virus. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.105527

Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) is a production disease commonly found in British cattle herds. Species other than cattle have been shown to be infected with the virus, thereby providing a potential source of infection for livestock. This study surveyed...

A Cryptosporidium parvum genotype shift between week old and two week old calves following administration of a prophylactic antiprotozoal (2019)
Journal Article
Seale, J., Swain, J., Booth, R. E., & Blake, D. P. (2019). A Cryptosporidium parvum genotype shift between week old and two week old calves following administration of a prophylactic antiprotozoal. Veterinary Parasitology, 273, 32-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2019.07.009

This study looked to assess the stability of Cryptosporidium parvum genotypes in calves between the final day of treatment with the antiprotozoal halofuginone lactate and seven days post-treatment. Paired faecal samples were collected on the final da...

PLoS ONE, 12(7), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179878

Since 2007, mortality associated with a previously unreported haemorrhagic disease has been observed in young calves in several European countries. The syndrome, which has been named ‘bovine neonatal pancytopenia’ (BNP), is characterised by thrombocy...

Randomised positive control trial of NSAID and antimicrobial treatment for calf fever caused by pneumonia (2017)
Journal Article
Mahendran, S. A., Booth, R. E., Burge, M., & Bell, N. J. (2017). Randomised positive control trial of NSAID and antimicrobial treatment for calf fever caused by pneumonia. Veterinary Record, 181(2), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104057

One hundred and fifty-four preweaning calves were followed between May and October 2015. Calves were fitted with continuous monitoring temperature probes (TempVerified FeverTag), programmed so a flashing light emitting diode (LED) light was triggered...
