Envelope protein variability among HBV-Infected asymptomatic carriers and immunized children with breakthrough infections
Journal Article
Mendy, M., D'Mello, F., Kanellos, T., Oliver, S., Whittle, H., & Howard, C. R. Envelope protein variability among HBV-Infected asymptomatic carriers and immunized children with breakthrough infections. Journal of Medical Virology, 80(9), 1537-1546. https://doi.org/10.1002/Jmv.21221

A detailed study of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface variants and their role in breakthrough infections has been conducted in The Gambia, West Africa. Samples from 1856 vaccinated subjects were tested for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Evidence...

Phage display screening with fragmented genomic DNA from the animal pathogen Pasteurella multocida has identified a gene encoding a putative fibronectin binding protein (19). Homologues of this gene (PM1665) are found in all other sequenced members o...

Aorto-iliac thromboembolism secondary to infectious endocarditis causing paraparesis in a puppy
Journal Article
Penning, V., Benigni, L., Connolly, D. J., Chandler, K. E., Smyth, B., Rycroft, A. N., & Whatmough, C. Aorto-iliac thromboembolism secondary to infectious endocarditis causing paraparesis in a puppy. Companion Animal, 13(7), 57-62. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2044-3862.2008.tb00317.x

A 10-week-old-female Rhodesian Ridgeback was referred for right pelvic limb lameness following a fall. A grade IV/VI left atrioventricular (AV) valve murmur and reduced femoral pulses were detected. On neurological examination the puppy was non-ambul... Read More about Aorto-iliac thromboembolism secondary to infectious endocarditis causing paraparesis in a puppy.

The effect of genetic merit and production system on dairy cow fertility, measured using progesterone profiles and on-farm recording
Journal Article
Pollott, G. E., & Coffey, M. P. The effect of genetic merit and production system on dairy cow fertility, measured using progesterone profiles and on-farm recording. Journal of Dairy Science, 91(9), 3649-3660. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2007-0913

The recent decline in dairy cow fertility appears to be a feature of several countries and is often linked to increased milk production, but its causes are not always obvious. A fully recorded 200-cow dairy herd, split into 2 genetic lines maintained...

Epidemiological patterns of Foot-and-Mouth Disease worldwide
Journal Article
Rweyemamu, M., Roeder, P., Mackay, D., Sumption, K., Brownlie, J., Leforban, Y., Valarcher, J. F., Knowles, N. J., & Saraiva, V. Epidemiological patterns of Foot-and-Mouth Disease worldwide. Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 55(1), 57-72. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1865-1682.2007.01013.x

Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is a clinical syndrome in animals due to FMD virus that exists in seven serotypes, whereby recovery from one sero-type does not confer immunity against the other six. So when considering intervention strategies in endemic... Read More about Epidemiological patterns of Foot-and-Mouth Disease worldwide.
