Journal Article
Chang, P., Yang, J., Karunarathna, T., Qureshi, M., Sadeyen, J., & Iqbal, M. (2023). Characterization of the haemagglutinin properties of the H5N1 avian influenza virus that caused human infections in Cambodia. Emerging Microbes & Infections, 12(2), https://doi.org/10.1080/22221751.2023.2244091

High pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 is a subtype of the influenza A virus primarily found in birds. The subtype emerged in China in 1996 and has spread globally, causing significant morbidity and mortality in birds and humans. In Cambodia,...

Factors associated with insulin responses to oral sugars in a mixed-breed cohort of ponies (2023)
Journal Article
Knowles, E., Harris, P., Elliott, J., Chang, Y., & Menzies-Gow, N. (2023). Factors associated with insulin responses to oral sugars in a mixed-breed cohort of ponies. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.13983

Background: Serum insulin concentration at 60 min (InsulinT60) during an oral sugar test (OST) indicates future laminitis risk and insulin dysregulation (ID). Associations between InsulinT60 and physical and owner-reported variables may help clinicia...

Global prioritization of endemic zoonotic diseases for conducting surveillance in domestic animals to protect public health (2023)
Journal Article
Qiu, Y., Guitian, J., Webster, J., Musallam, I., Haider, N., Drewe, J., & Song, J. (2023). Global prioritization of endemic zoonotic diseases for conducting surveillance in domestic animals to protect public health. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 378(1887), https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2022.0407

Zoonotic diseases (zoonoses) originating from domestic animals pose a significant risk to people's health and livelihoods, in addition to jeopardizing animal health and production. Effective surveillance of endemic zoonoses at the animal level is cru...

BackgroundThe Connemara pony (CP) is an Irish breed that has experienced varied selection by breeders over the last fifty years, with objectives ranging from the traditional hardy pony to an agile athlete. We compared these ponies with well-studied W... Read More about Genetic characterisation of the Connemara pony and the Warmblood horse using a within-breed clustering approach.

Endothelial AHR activity prevents lung barrier disruption in viral infection (2023)
Journal Article
Major, J., Crotta, S., Finsterbusch, K., Chakravarty, P., Shah, K., Frederico, B., …Wack, A. (2023). Endothelial AHR activity prevents lung barrier disruption in viral infection. Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06287-y

Disruption of the lung endothelial-epithelial cell barrier following respiratory virus infection causes cell and fluid accumulation in the air spaces and compromises vital gas exchange function(1). Endothelial dysfunction can exacerbate tissue damage... Read More about Endothelial AHR activity prevents lung barrier disruption in viral infection.

Macroevolutionary patterns in the pelvis, stylopodium and zeugopodium of megalosauroid theropod dinosaurs and their importance for locomotor function (2023)
Journal Article
