Life cycle stages, specific organelles and invasion mechanisms of Eimeria species (2019)
Journal Article
Burrell, A., Tomley, F. M., Vaughan, S., & Marugan-Hernandez, V. (2019). Life cycle stages, specific organelles and invasion mechanisms of Eimeria species. Parasitology, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182019001562

Apicomplexans, including species of Eimeria, pose a real threat to the health and wellbeing of animals and humans. Eimeria parasites do not infect humans but cause an important economic impact on livestock, in particular on the poultry industry. Desp...

Evaluation of vaccine delivery systems for inducing long-lived antibody responses to Dermanyssus gallinae antigen in laying hens (2019)
Journal Article
Price, D. R. G., Küster, T., Øines, Ø., Margaret Oliver, E., Bartley, K., Nunn, F., …Nisbet, A. J. (2019). Evaluation of vaccine delivery systems for inducing long-lived antibody responses to Dermanyssus gallinae antigen in laying hens. Avian Pathology, 48, S60-S74. https://doi.org/10.1080/03079457.2019.1612514

Dermanyssus gallinae, the poultry red mite, is a global threat to the commercial egg-laying industry. Control of D. gallinae is difficult, with only a limited number of effective pesticides and non-chemical treatments available. Here we characterise...

Impact of Eimeria tenella coinfection on Campylobacter jejuni colonisation of the chicken (2019)
Journal Article
Macdonald, S. E., Van Diemen, P. M., Martineau, H., Stevens, M. P., Tomley, F. M., Stabler, R. A., & Blake, D. P. (2019). Impact of Eimeria tenella coinfection on Campylobacter jejuni colonisation of the chicken. Infection and Immunity, 87(2), https://doi.org/10.1128/IAI.00772-18

Eimeria tenella can cause the disease coccidiosis in chickens. The direct and often detrimental impact of this parasite on chicken health, welfare and productivity is well recognised, however less is known about the secondary effects infection may ha...

Genome reconstruction of a novel carbohydrate digesting bacterium from the chicken caecal microflora (2019)
Journal Article
Hinsu, A. T., Pandit, R. J., Patel, S. H., Psifidi, A., Tomley, F. M., Das, S. K., …Joshi, C. G. (2019). Genome reconstruction of a novel carbohydrate digesting bacterium from the chicken caecal microflora. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mgene.2019.01.002

The advent of metagenomics using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has led to the acquisition of unprecedented quantities of bacterial sequence data. One use for these data is the recovery of complete genomes of uncultivable, and thus uncharacterised,...
