Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging features of idiopathic oculomotor neuropathy in 14 dogs: Canine Idiopathic Oculomotor Neuropathy (2017)
Journal Article
Tetas Pont, R., Freeman, C., Dennis, R., Hartley, C., & Beltran, E. (2017). Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging features of idiopathic oculomotor neuropathy in 14 dogs: Canine Idiopathic Oculomotor Neuropathy. https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.12478

Ophthalmoplegia/ophthalmoparesis (internal, external, or both) has been reported in dogs secondary to neoplasia affecting the oculomotor nerve and is usually given a poor prognosis. The purpose of this retrospective study was to describe the clinical...

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?.

Limb proportions show developmental plasticity in response to embryo movement (2017)
Journal Article
Pollard, A. S., Charlton, B. G., Hutchinson, J. R., Gustafsson, T., McGonnell, I. M., Timmons, J. A., & Pitsillides, A. A. (2017). Limb proportions show developmental plasticity in response to embryo movement. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep41926

Animals have evolved limb proportions adapted to different environments, but it is not yet clear to what extent these proportions are directly influenced by the environment during prenatal development. The developing skeleton experiences mechanical l... Read More about Limb proportions show developmental plasticity in response to embryo movement.

Progressive Structural Defects in Canine Centronuclear Myopathy Indicate a Role for HACD1 in Maintaining Skeletal Muscle Membrane Systems (2017)
Journal Article
Walmsley, G. L., Blott, S., Venner, K., Sewry, C., Laport, J., Blondelle, J., …Piercy, R. J. (2017). Progressive Structural Defects in Canine Centronuclear Myopathy Indicate a Role for HACD1 in Maintaining Skeletal Muscle Membrane Systems. American Journal of Pathology, 187(2), 441-456. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajpath.2016.10.002

Mutations in HACD1/PTPLA cause recessive congenital myopathies in humans and dogs. Hydroxyacyl-coA dehydratases are required for elongation of very long chain fatty acids, and HACD1 has a role in early myogenesis, but the functions of this striated m...

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., …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...

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., …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...
