Are Eimeria Genetically Diverse, and Does It Matter? (2017)
Journal Article
Clark, E. L., Tomley, F. M., & Blake, D. P. (2017). Are Eimeria Genetically Diverse, and Does It Matter?. Trends in Parasitology, 33(3), 231-241. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pt.2016.08.007

Eimeria pose a risk to all livestock species as a cause of coccidiosis, reducing productivity and compromising animal welfare. Pressure to reduce drug use in the food chain makes the development of cost-effective vaccines against Eimeria essential. F... Read More about Are Eimeria Genetically Diverse, and Does It Matter?.

Eimeria species occurrence varies between geographic regions and poultry production systems and may influence parasite genetic diversity (2017)
Journal Article
Chengat Prakashbabu, B., Thenmozhi, V., Limon, G., Kundu, K., Kumar, S., Garg, R., Clark, E. L., Srinivasa Rao, A. S. R., Raj, D. G., Raman, M., Banerjee, P. S., Tomley, F. M., Guitian, J., & Blake, D. P. (2017). Eimeria species occurrence varies between geographic regions and poultry production systems and may influence parasite genetic diversity. Veterinary Parasitology, 233, 62-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2016.12.003

Coccidiosis is one of the biggest challenges faced by the global poultry industry. Recent studies have highlighted the ubiquitous distribution of all Eimeria species which can cause this disease in chickens, but intriguingly revealed a regional divid...

A., Álvarez Zapata, R., Awuni, J. A., Chapman, H. D., Banerjee, P. S., Tewari, A. K., Dhinakar Raj, G., …Suo, X. (2016). Cryptic Eimeria genotypes are common across the southern but not northern hemisphere. International Journal for Parasitology, 46(9), 537-544. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpara.2016.05.006

The phylum Apicomplexa includes parasites of medical, zoonotic and veterinary significance. Understanding the global distribution and genetic diversity of these protozoa is of fundamental importance for efficient, robust and long-lasting methods of c...

Detection and molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium parvum in British European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) (2015)
Journal Article
Sangster, L., Blake, D. P., Robinson, G., Hopkins, T. C., Sa, R. C. C., Cunningham, A. A., Chalmers, R. M., & Lawson, B. (2015). Detection and molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium parvum in British European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus). Veterinary Parasitology, 217, 39-44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2015.12.006

Surveillance was conducted for the occurrence of protozoan parasites of the genus Cryptosporidium in European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) in Great Britain. In total, 108 voided faecal samples were collected from hedgehogs newly admitted to eight...
