Variation matters: TLR structure and species-specific pathogen recognition
Journal Article
Werling, D., Jann, O. C., Offord, V., Glass, E. J., & Coffey, T. J. Variation matters: TLR structure and species-specific pathogen recognition. Trends in Immunology, 30(3), 124-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.it.2008.12.001

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors that are an important link between innate and adaptive immunity. Many vaccines incorporate ligands for TLRs as an adjuvant and are developed in rodent models, with the resulting...

Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength
Journal Article
Widdicombe, J. P., Rycroft, A. N., & Gregory, N. G. Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 89(2), 201-205. https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.3425

BACKGROUND: This study examined the relationship between egg shell strength and the prevalence of cracked shells, plus the relationship between egg shell cracks and the presence of bacteria in the albumen of retail eggs. A total of 500 eggs was sampl... Read More about Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength.

Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Ethiopia: Analysis of a national serological survey
Journal Article
Waret-Szkuta, A., Roger, F., Chavernac, D., Yigezu, L., Libeau, G., Pfeiffer, D. U., & Guitian, J. (in press). Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Ethiopia: Analysis of a national serological survey. BMC Veterinary Research, 4, 34. https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-6148-4-34

Background: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a contagious viral disease of small ruminants in Africa and Asia. In 1999, probably the largest survey on PPR ever conducted in Africa was initiated in Ethiopia where 13 651 serum samples from 7 out of...

Climate Extremes Promote Fatal Co-Infections during Canine Distemper Epidemics in African Lions
Journal Article
Munson, L., Terio, K., Kock, R. A., Mlengeya, T., Roelke, M., Dubovi, E., Summers, B., Sinclair, T., & Packer, C. (in press). Climate Extremes Promote Fatal Co-Infections during Canine Distemper Epidemics in African Lions. PLoS ONE, 3(6), e2545. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0002545

Extreme climatic conditions may alter historic host-pathogen relationships and synchronize the temporal and spatial convergence of multiple infectious agents, triggering epidemics with far greater mortality than those due to single pathogens. Here we... Read More about Climate Extremes Promote Fatal Co-Infections during Canine Distemper Epidemics in African Lions.

MORN1 has a conserved role in asexual and sexual development across the apicomplexa. Eukaryot Cell
Journal Article
Ferguson, D. J. P., Sahoo, N., Pinches, R. A., Bumstead, J. M., Tomley, F. M., & Gubbels, M. J. (in press). MORN1 has a conserved role in asexual and sexual development across the apicomplexa. Eukaryot Cell. https://doi.org/10.1128/EC.00021-08

The gene encoding the membrane occupation and recognition nexus protein MORN1 is conserved across the Apicomplexa. In Toxoplasma gondii, MORN1 is associated with the spindle poles, the anterior and posterior rings of the inner membrane complex (IMC)....

Sequestration of free cholesterol in cell membranes by prions correlates with cytoplasmic phospholipase A(2) activation
Journal Article
Bate, C., Tayebi, M., & Williams, A. Sequestration of free cholesterol in cell membranes by prions correlates with cytoplasmic phospholipase A(2) activation. BMC Biology, 6, https://doi.org/10.1186/1741-7007-6-8

Background: The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), otherwise known as the prion diseases, occur following the conversion of the normal cellular prion protein ( PrPC) to an alternatively folded isoform ( PrPSc). The accumulation of PrPS... Read More about Sequestration of free cholesterol in cell membranes by prions correlates with cytoplasmic phospholipase A(2) activation.
