Journal Article
Muellner, P., Muellner, U., Gates, M. C., Pearce, T., Ahlstrom, C., O'Neill, D. G., …Cave, N. J. (2016). Evidence in Practice – A Pilot Study Leveraging Companion Animal and Equine Health Data from Primary Care Veterinary Clinics in New Zealand. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 3, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2016.00116

Veterinary practitioners have extensive knowledge of animal health from their day-to-day observations of clinical patients. There have been several recent initiatives to capture these data from electronic medical records for use in national surveilla...

The challenges and issues of undergraduate student retention and attainment in UK veterinary medical education (2016)
Journal Article
Jackson, E. L., & Armitage-Chan, E. A. (2016). The challenges and issues of undergraduate student retention and attainment in UK veterinary medical education. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 44(2), 247-259. https://doi.org/10.3138/jvme.1215-202R1

Student retention and attainment has recently been identified as a key area for development in veterinary medical education enquiry. Woodfield's research on retention and attainment across the UK disciplines has yielded some unique information about...

Assessing the impact of tailored biosecurity advice on farmer behaviour and pathogen presence in beef herds in England and Wales (2016)
Journal Article
Cardwell, J. M., Van Winden, S. C. L., Beauvais, W., Mastin, A., De Glanville, W. A., Hardstaff, J., …Pfeiffer, D. U. (2016). Assessing the impact of tailored biosecurity advice on farmer behaviour and pathogen presence in beef herds in England and Wales. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 135, 9-16. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2016.10.018

The term ‘biosecurity’ encompasses many measures farmers can take to reduce the risk of pathogen incursion or spread. As the best strategy will vary between settings, veterinarians play an important role in assessing risk and providing advice, but ef...

Minimal In Vivo Efficacy of Iminosugars in a Lethal Ebola Virus Guinea Pig Model (2016)
Journal Article
Miller, J. L., Spiro, S. G., Dowall, S. D., Taylor, I., Rule, A., Alonzi, D. S., …Zitzmann, N. (2016). Minimal In Vivo Efficacy of Iminosugars in a Lethal Ebola Virus Guinea Pig Model. PLoS ONE, 11(11), e0167018. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0167018

The antiviral properties of iminosugars have been reported previously in vitro and in small animal models against Ebola virus (EBOV); however, their effects have not been tested in larger animal models such as guinea pigs. We tested the iminosugars N... Read More about Minimal In Vivo Efficacy of Iminosugars in a Lethal Ebola Virus Guinea Pig Model.

Disruption of Higher Order DNA Structures in Friedreich's Ataxia (GAA)n Repeats by PNA or LNA Targeting (2016)
Journal Article
Bergquist, H., Rocha, C. S., Alvarez-Asencio, R., Nguyen, C. H., Rutland, M. W., Smith, C. I., …Zain, R. (2016). Disruption of Higher Order DNA Structures in Friedreich's Ataxia (GAA)n Repeats by PNA or LNA Targeting. PLoS ONE, 15(11), e0165788. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0165788

Expansion of (GAA)n repeats in the first intron of the Frataxin gene is associated with reduced mRNA and protein levels and the development of Friedreich’s ataxia. (GAA)n expansions form non-canonical structures, including intramolecular triplex (H-D...

An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity (2016)
Journal Article
Holder, A., Mella, S., Palmer, D. B., Aspinall, R., & Catchpole, B. (2016). An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity. PLoS ONE, 11, e0165968. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0165968

The age associated decline in immune function is preceded in mammals by a reduction in thymic output. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence of a link between immune competence and lifespan. One approach to determining thymic output is to quantify... Read More about An Age-Associated Decline in Thymic Output Differs in Dog Breeds According to Their Longevity.
