Detection of Rare Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles by Active and Passive Surveillance Approaches (2016)
Journal Article
Mather, A., Reeve, R., Mellor, D. J., Matthews, L., Reid-Smith, R. J., Dutil, L., …Reid, S. W. J. (2016). Detection of Rare Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles by Active and Passive Surveillance Approaches. PLoS ONE, 11(7), e0158515. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0158515

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance systems are generally not specifically designed to detect emerging resistances and usually focus primarily on resistance to individual drugs. Evaluating the diversity of resistance, using ecological metrics... Read More about Detection of Rare Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles by Active and Passive Surveillance Approaches.

Evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging guidelines for differentiation between thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusions and intervertebral disk protrusions in dogs (2016)
Journal Article
De Decker, S., Gomes, S. A., Packer, R. M. A., Kenny, P. J., Beltran, E., Parzefall, B., …Volk, H. A. (2016). Evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging guidelines for differentiation between thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusions and intervertebral disk protrusions in dogs. https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.12394

Four MRI variables have recently been suggested to be independently associated with a diagnosis of thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusion or protrusion. Midline intervertebral disk herniation, and partial intervertebral disk degeneration were as...

Examining the Use of Web-Based Reusable Learning Objects by Animal and Veterinary Nursing Students (2016)
Journal Article
Chapman-Waterhouse, E., Silva-Fletcher, A. T., & Whittlestone, K. D. (2016). Examining the Use of Web-Based Reusable Learning Objects by Animal and Veterinary Nursing Students. https://doi.org/10.4018/IJWLTT.2016070103

This intervention study examined the interaction of animal- and veterinary nursing students with reusable learning objects (RLO) in the context of preparing for summative assessment. Data was collected from 199 undergraduates using quantitative and q... Read More about Examining the Use of Web-Based Reusable Learning Objects by Animal and Veterinary Nursing Students.

Exploring pig trade patterns to inform the design of risk-based disease surveillance and control strategies (2016)
Journal Article
Guinat, C., Relun, A., Wall, B. A., Morris, A., Dixon, L., & Pfeiffer, D. U. (2016). Exploring pig trade patterns to inform the design of risk-based disease surveillance and control strategies. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep28429

An understanding of the patterns of animal contact networks provides essential information for the design of risk-based animal disease surveillance and control strategies. This study characterises pig movements throughout England and Wales between 20...

Neurodegeneration and Epilepsy in a Zebrafish Model of CLN3 Disease (Batten Disease) (2016)
Journal Article
Wager, K., Zdebik, A. A., Fu, S., Cooper, J. D., Harvey, R. J., & Russell, C. (2016). Neurodegeneration and Epilepsy in a Zebrafish Model of CLN3 Disease (Batten Disease). PLoS ONE, 11(6), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0157365

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are a group of lysosomal storage disorders that comprise the most common, genetically heterogeneous, fatal neurodegenerative disorders of children. They are characterised by childhood onset, visual failure, epilepti... Read More about Neurodegeneration and Epilepsy in a Zebrafish Model of CLN3 Disease (Batten Disease).

The tandemly repeated NTPase (NTPDase) from Neospora caninum is a canonical dense granule protein whose RNA expression, protein secretion and phosphorylation coincides with the tachyzoite egress (2016)

Pastor-Fernandez, I., Regidor-Cerrillo, J., Alvarez-Garcia, G., Marugan-Hernandez, V., Garcia-Lunar, P., Hemphill, A., & Ortega-Mora, L. M. (2016). The tandemly repeated NTPase (NTPDase) from Neospora caninum is a canonical dense granule protein whose RNA expression, protein secretion and phosphorylation coincides with the tachyzoite egress. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-016-1620-4

Sialic Acid within the Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Targets the Cellular Prion Protein to Synapses (2016)
Journal Article
Bate, C., Nolan, W., McHale-Owen, H., & Williams, A. (2016). Sialic Acid within the Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Targets the Cellular Prion Protein to Synapses. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 291(33), 17093-101. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M116.731117

Although the cellular prion protein (PrPC) is concentrated at synapses, the factors that target PrPC to synapses are not understood. Here we demonstrate that exogenous PrPC was rapidly targeted to synapses in recipient neurons derived from Prnp knock...

Evaluation of the limitations and methods to improve rapid phage-based detection of viable Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in the blood of experimentally infected cattle (2016)
Journal Article
Swift, B. M. C., Huxley, J. N., Plain, K. M., Begg, D. J., De Silva, K., Purdie, A. C., …Rees, C. E. (2016). Evaluation of the limitations and methods to improve rapid phage-based detection of viable Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in the blood of experimentally infected cattle. BMC Veterinary Research, 12(1), 115. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-016-0728-2

Disseminated infection and bacteraemia is an underreported and under-researched aspect of Johne’s disease. This is mainly due to the time it takes for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) to grow and lack of sensitivity of culture. Viabl...
