Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis that affects cattle and can cause tuberculosis in a range of wildlife animals. A bacteriophage-based method combined with PCR (phage-PCR) has been recently used to det...

Incentive Perception in Livestock Disease Control (2016)
Journal Article
Gilbert, W. H., & Rushton, J. (2016). Incentive Perception in Livestock Disease Control. Journal of Agricultural Economics, https://doi.org/10.1111/1477-9552.12168

The economic incentives facing people making decisions about infectious disease control have been given due theoretical consideration in the literature, based on principles of economic rationality. Such deductive models provide important tools for ge... Read More about Incentive Perception in Livestock Disease Control.

Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse (2016)
Journal Article
Williams, J. M., Duckworth, C. A., Vowell, K., Burkitt, M. D., & Pritchard, D. M. (2016). Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpmo.2

The murine intestinal tract represents a difficult organ system to study due to its long convoluted tubular structure, narrow diameter, and delicate mucosa which undergoes rapid changes after sampling prior to fixation. These features do not make for... Read More about Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse.

BVDV alters uterine prostaglandin production during pregnancy recognition in cows (2016)
Journal Article
Cheng, Z. R., Abudureyimu, A., Oguejiofor, C. F., Ellis, R., Barry, A. T., Chen, X., …Wathes, D. C. (2016). BVDV alters uterine prostaglandin production during pregnancy recognition in cows. Reproduction, 151(6), 605-614. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-15-0583

Embryonic mortality in cows is at least in part caused by failure of pregnancy recognition (PR). Evidence has shown that bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) infection can disrupt pregnancy. Prostaglandins (PG) play important roles in many reproductiv... Read More about BVDV alters uterine prostaglandin production during pregnancy recognition in cows.

Equine atypical myopathy associated with sycamore seed ingestion in a Przewalski foal (2016)
Journal Article
Molenaar, F. M., Piercy, R. J., Dunkel, B., Manning, N., English, K., Stidworthy, M., & Masters, N. J. (2016). Equine atypical myopathy associated with sycamore seed ingestion in a Przewalski foal. https://doi.org/10.19227/jzar.v4i2.156

One of the 172 UK cases of equine atypical myopathy (EAM) reported to the Atypical Myopathy Alert Group (AMAG) in 2014 was that of a five-month old male Przewalski horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), resident at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, UK. The foal presented... Read More about Equine atypical myopathy associated with sycamore seed ingestion in a Przewalski foal.

The global antigenic diversity of swine influenza A viruses (2016)
Journal Article

wine influenza presents a substantial disease burden for pig populations worldwide and poses a potential pandemic threat to humans. There is considerable diversity in both H1 and H3 influenza viruses circulating in swine due to the frequent introduct... Read More about The global antigenic diversity of swine influenza A viruses.

Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life (2016)
Journal Article
Newsome, R., Green, M. J., Bell, N. J., Chagunda, C. S., Mason, C. S., Rutland, C. S., …Huxley, J. N. (2016). Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life. Journal of Dairy Science, 99(6), 4512-4525. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2015-10202

Claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole hemorrhage, sole ulcer, and white line disease) cause a large proportion of lameness in dairy cattle, yet their etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. Untreated CHDL may be associated with damage to the i... Read More about Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life.

Cholesterol can be a major carbon source for Mycobacterium tuberculosis during infection, both at an early stage in the macrophage phagosome and later within the necrotic granuloma. KstR is a highly conserved TetR family transcriptional repressor tha...
