Report
Hennessey, M., Unger, F., Sinh, D. X., Phuc, P. D., Tuan Hai, N. H., Thanh Huyen, L. T., …Hasler, B. (2021). A Practical Guide To The Design Implementation And Evaluation Stages Of Food Safety Nudges. Addis Ababa: International Livestock Research Institute

The field of nudge theory – influencing the way people make choices through subtle environmental change – has been used to improve healthy food choices, but to date has not been extensively applied to the livestock and food chain sector. In this... Read More about A Practical Guide To The Design Implementation And Evaluation Stages Of Food Safety Nudges.

Exploring the barriers and incentives towards effective surveillance for antimicrobial and anthelmintic usage (AMHU) in beef cattle and sheep in Great Britain (2021)
Report
Arnold, J., Whatford, L., Gabain, I., Tak, M., Van Winden, S., Barling, D., & Haesler, B. (2021). Exploring the barriers and incentives towards effective surveillance for antimicrobial and anthelmintic usage (AMHU) in beef cattle and sheep in Great Britain. RVC Research Online: not applicable

Antimicrobial and anthelmintic usage (AMHU) in livestock production has increased over the last 50+ years. Microbial and helminthic exposure to such drugs is understood to have contributed to increased resistance to treatment, causing significant eco...

Modelling for Taenia solium control strategies beyond 2020 (2020)
Report
Dixon, M. A., Braae, U. C., Winskill, P., Devleesschauwer, B., Trevisan, C., Van Damme, I., …Basáñez, M. (2020). Modelling for Taenia solium control strategies beyond 2020

The cestode Taenia solium is responsible for a considerable cross-sectoral health and economic burden due to human neurocysticercosis and porcine cysticercosis. The 2012 World Health Organization (WHO) roadmap for neglected tropical diseases called f... Read More about Modelling for Taenia solium control strategies beyond 2020.

Food safety metrics relevant to low and middle income countries (2018)
Report
Grace, D., Dominguez-Salas, P., Alonso, S., Fahrion, A. S., Haesler, B., Heilmann, M., …Lore, T. (2018). Food safety metrics relevant to low and middle income countries. https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/92505: Innovative Methods and Metrics for Agriculture and Nutrition Actions Programme

The safety of food is a matter of growing concern, especially following the recent publication of the first ever global study on the burden of foodborne diseases. The study by the Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group of the World Hea... Read More about Food safety metrics relevant to low and middle income countries.

Limb bone scaling in hopping diprotodonts and quadrupedal artiodactyls (2018)
Report
Doube, M., Felder, A. A., Chua, M. Y., Lodhia, K., Klosowski, M. M., Hutchinson, J. R., & Shefelbine, S. J. Limb bone scaling in hopping diprotodonts and quadrupedal artiodactyls

Bone adaptation is modulated by the timing, direction, rate, and magnitude of mechanical loads. To investigate whether frequent slow, or infrequent fast, gaits could dominate bone adaptation to load, we compared scaling of the limb bones from two mam...

Regulation of mitophagy by the NSL complex underlies genetic risk for Parkinson’s disease at Chr16q11.2 and on the MAPT H1 allele
Report
Soutar, M., Melandri, D., Annuario, E., Monaghan, A., Welsh, N., D’Sa, K., …Plun-Favreau, H. (2020). Regulation of mitophagy by the NSL complex underlies genetic risk for Parkinson’s disease at Chr16q11.2 and on the MAPT H1 allele

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common incurable neurodegenerative disease. The identification of genetic variants via genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has considerably advanced our understanding of the PD genetic risk. Understanding the function...

An integrated genomic approach to dissect the genetic landscape regulating the cell-to-cell transfer of a-synuclein
Report
Kara, E., Crimi, A., Wiedmer, A., Emmenegger, M., Manzoni, C., Bandres-Ciga, S., …Aguzzi, A. (2019). An integrated genomic approach to dissect the genetic landscape regulating the cell-to-cell transfer of a-synuclein

Neuropathological and experimental evidence suggests that the cell-to-cell transfer of a-synuclein has an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is not fully understood. We un...

Mutations in Auxilin cause parkinsonism via impaired clathrin-mediated trafficking at the Golgi apparatus and synapse
Report
Roosen, D., Landeck, N., Conti, M., Smith, N., Saez-Atienzar, S., Ding, J., …Cookson, M. (2019). Mutations in Auxilin cause parkinsonism via impaired clathrin-mediated trafficking at the Golgi apparatus and synapse

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative motor disorder characterized in part by neuropathological lesions in the nigrostriatal pathway. While most cases of PD are sporadic in nature, several inherited monogenic syndromes exist that ove...
