Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia? (2016)
Journal Article
Henning, J., Pfeiffer, D. U., Stevenson, M., Yulianto, D., Priyono, W., & Meers, J. (2016). Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?. PLoS ONE, 11(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0152123

Duck populations are considered to be a reservoir of Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus H5N1 in some agricultural production systems, as they are able to shed the virus for several days without clinical signs. Countries endemically affect... Read More about Who Is Spreading Avian Influenza in the Moving Duck Flock Farming Network of Indonesia?.

Teaching Tip: developing an intercollegiate Twitter forum to aid student exam study and the development of digital professionalism (2016)
Journal Article
Whiting, M., Kinnison, T., & Mossop, L. (2016). Teaching Tip: developing an intercollegiate Twitter forum to aid student exam study and the development of digital professionalism. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 43(3), 282-286. https://doi.org/10.3138/jvme.0715-114R

#VetFinals has been developed as a novel online Twitter teaching event designed to support intercollegiate veterinary teaching using social media. Previous studies in other fields have suggested that Twitter use within universities may have benefits...

Serum Biochemical Phenotypes in the Domestic Dog (2016)
Journal Article
Chang, Y. M., Hadox, E., Szladovits, B., & Garden, O. A. (2016). Serum Biochemical Phenotypes in the Domestic Dog. PLoS ONE, 11(2), e0149650. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0149650

The serum or plasma biochemical profile is essential in the diagnosis and monitoring of systemic disease in veterinary medicine, but current reference intervals typically take no account of breed-specific differences. Breed-specific hematological phe... Read More about Serum Biochemical Phenotypes in the Domestic Dog.

Whole genome resequencing of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni reveals population history and effects of selection (2016)
Journal Article
Crellen, T., Allan, F., David, S., Durrant, C., Huckvale, T., Holroyd, N., …Cotton, J. A. (2016). Whole genome resequencing of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni reveals population history and effects of selection. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep20954

Schistosoma mansoni is a parasitic fluke that infects millions of people in the developing world. This study presents the first application of population genomics to S. mansoni based on high-coverage resequencing data from 10 global isolates and an i...

An in vitro model for synaptic loss in neurodegenerative diseases suggests a neuroprotective role for valproic acid via inhibition of cPLA(2) dependent signalling (2016)
Journal Article
Williams, R. S. B., & Bate, C. (2016). An in vitro model for synaptic loss in neurodegenerative diseases suggests a neuroprotective role for valproic acid via inhibition of cPLA(2) dependent signalling. Neuropharmacology, 101, 566-575. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropharm.2015.06.013

Many neurodegenerative diseases present the loss of synapses as a common pathological feature. Here we have employed an in vitro model for synaptic loss to investigate the molecular mechanism of a therapeutic treatment, valproic acid (VPA). We show t...
