The secondary resistome of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (2017)
Journal Article
Jana, B., Cain, A. K., Doerrler, W. T., Boinett, C. J., Fookes, M. C., Parkhill, J., & Guardabassi, L. (2017). The secondary resistome of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep42483

Klebsiella pneumoniae causes severe lung and bloodstream infections that are difficult to treat due to multidrug resistance. We hypothesized that antimicrobial resistance can be reversed by targeting chromosomal non-essential genes that are not respo...

Early animal farming and zoonotic disease dynamics: modelling brucellosis transmission in Neolithic goat populations (2017)
Journal Article
Fournié, G., Pfeiffer, D. U., & Bendrey, R. (2017). Early animal farming and zoonotic disease dynamics: modelling brucellosis transmission in Neolithic goat populations. Royal Society Open Science, 4, 160943. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.160943

Zoonotic pathogens are frequently hypothesized as emerging with the origins of farming, but evidence of this is elusive in the archaeological records. To explore the potential impact of animal domestication on zoonotic disease dynamics and human infe...

Antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use animal monitoring policies in Europe: Where are we? (2017)
Journal Article
Ferreira, J. P., & Staerk, K. D. C. (2017). Antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use animal monitoring policies in Europe: Where are we?. Journal of Public Health Policy, 38(2), 185-202. https://doi.org/10.1057/s41271-017-0067-y

The World Health Organization has recognized antimicrobial resistance as one of the top three threats to human health. Any use of antibiotics in animals will ultimately affect humans and vice versa. Appropriate monitoring of antimicrobial use and res... Read More about Antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use animal monitoring policies in Europe: Where are we?.

High Prevalence of Middle East Respiratory Coronavirus in Young Dromedary Camels in Jordan (2017)
Journal Article
Van Doremalen, N., Hijazeen, Z. S., Holloway, P. M., Al Omari, B., McDowell, C., Adney, D., Talafna, H. A., Guitian, J., Steel, J., Amarin, N., Tibbo, M., Abu-Basha, E., Al-Majali, A. M., Munster, V. J., & Richt, J. A. (2017). High Prevalence of Middle East Respiratory Coronavirus in Young Dromedary Camels in Jordan. Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 17(2), 155-159. https://doi.org/10.1089/vbz.2016.2062

Prevalence of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was determined in 45 dromedary camels from two geographically separated herds in Jordan. Virus shedding was only detected in swabs obtained from the respiratory tract and primarily...

Exploring local knowledge and perceptions on zoonoses among pastoralists in northern and eastern Tanzania (2017)
Journal Article
Mangesho, P. E., Neselle, M. O., Karimuribo, E. D., Mlangwa, J. E., Queenan, K., Mboera, L. E. G., Rushton, J., Kock, R. A., Haesler, B., Kiwara, A., & Rweyemamu, M. (2017). Exploring local knowledge and perceptions on zoonoses among pastoralists in northern and eastern Tanzania. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 11(2), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0005345

Background: Zoonoses account for the most commonly reported emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is limited knowledge on how pastoral communities perceive zoonoses in relation to their livelihoods, cultur...

Randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effect of foot trimming before and after first calving on subsequent lameness episodes and productivity in dairy heifers (2017)
Journal Article
Mahendran, S. A., Huxley, J. N., Chang, Y. M., Burnell, M., Barrett, D. C., Whay, H. R., Blackmore, T. L., Mason, C. S., & Bell, N. J. (2017). Randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effect of foot trimming before and after first calving on subsequent lameness episodes and productivity in dairy heifers. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2017.01.011

The objective of this study was to assess both independent and combined effects of routine foot trimming of heifers at 3 weeks pre-calving and 100 days post calving on the first lactation lameness and lactation productivity. A total of 419 pre-calvin...

Gastric colonization with Helicobacter pylori induces diverse human pathological conditions, including superficial gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma and its precursors. The... Read More about Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric pathology: insights from in vivo and ex vivo models.

Using geographically weighted regression to explore the spatially heterogeneous spread of bovine tuberculosis in England and Wales (2017)
Journal Article
Brunton, L. A., Alexander, N., Wint, W., Ashton, A., & Broughan, J. M. (2017). Using geographically weighted regression to explore the spatially heterogeneous spread of bovine tuberculosis in England and Wales. Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 31(2), 339-352. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00477-016-1320-9

An understanding of the factors that affect the spread of endemic bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is critical for the development of measures to stop and reverse this spread. Analyses of spatial data need to account for the inherent spatial heterogeneity w...

Wildlife-livestock interactions and risk areas for cross-species spread of bovine tuberculosis (2017)
Journal Article
Meunier, N. V., Sebulime, P., White, R. G., & Kock, R. A. (2017). Wildlife-livestock interactions and risk areas for cross-species spread of bovine tuberculosis. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 84(1), a1221. https://doi.org/10.4102/ojvr.v84i1.1221

The transmission of diseases between livestock and wildlife can be a hindrance to effective disease control. Maintenance hosts and contact rates should be explored to further understand the transmission dynamics at the wildlife-livestock interface. B...
