The PfRCR complex bridges malaria parasite and erythrocyte during invasion (2023)
Journal Article
Farrell, B., Alam, N., Hart, M. N., Jamwal, A., Ragotte, R. J., Walters-Morgan, H., Draper, S. J., Knuepfer, E., & Higgins, M. K. (2023). The PfRCR complex bridges malaria parasite and erythrocyte during invasion. Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06856-1

The symptoms of malaria occur during the blood stage of infection, when parasites invade and replicate within human erythrocytes. The PfPCRCR complex1, containing PfRH5 (refs. 2,3), PfCyRPA, PfRIPR, PfCSS and PfPTRAMP, is essential for erythrocyte in...

Planning and Food Sovereignty in Conflict Cities: Insights From Urban Growers in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir (2022)
Journal Article
Raja, S., Parvaiz, A., Sanders, L., Judelsohn, A., Guru, S., Bhan, M., Osuri, G., Tak, M., Mui, Y., & Frimpong Boamah, E. (in press). Planning and Food Sovereignty in Conflict Cities: Insights From Urban Growers in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. Journal of the American Planning Association, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1080/01944363.2022.2072370

Protracted political conflicts disrupt people's lives, including their ability to feed themselves. Urban planning, operating within the ambit of the state, impacts food systems in conflict cities. We examine the confluence of planning and political m... Read More about Planning and Food Sovereignty in Conflict Cities: Insights From Urban Growers in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.

Challenges in defining the functional, non‐coding, expressed genome of members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (2021)
Journal Article
Stiens, J., Arnvig, K. B., Kendall, S. L., & Nobeli, I. (2022). Challenges in defining the functional, non‐coding, expressed genome of members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Molecular Microbiology, 117(1), 20-31. https://doi.org/10.1111/mmi.14862

A definitive transcriptome atlas for the non-coding expressed elements of the members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) does not exist. Incomplete lists of non-coding transcripts can be obtained for some of the reference genomes (e.g.,...

Building an ecologically founded disease risk prioritization framework for migratory wildlife species based on contact with livestock (2021)
Journal Article
Khanyari, M., Robinson, S., E., M., Singh N. J., Brown, T., Salemgareyev, A., Zuther, S., Milner‐Gulland, E. J., & Kock, R. (in press). Building an ecologically founded disease risk prioritization framework for migratory wildlife species based on contact with livestock. Journal of Applied Ecology, 00, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.13937

Coccidiosis, caused by Eimeria species parasites, remains a major threat to poultry production, undermining economic performance and compromising welfare. The recent characterization of three new Eimeria species that infect chickens has highlighted t...

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2021.02.091

Despite slow reductions in the annual burden of active human tuberculosis (TB) cases, zoonotic TB (zTB) remains
a poorly monitored and an important unaddressed global problem. There is a higher incidence in some regions
and countries, especially wh... Read More about Zoonotic tuberculosis — The changing landscape.

The Application of Bacteriophage Diagnostics for Bacterial Pathogens in the Agricultural Supply Chain: From Farm-to-Fork (2020)
Journal Article
Jones, H. J., Shield, C. G., & Swift, B. M. (2020). The Application of Bacteriophage Diagnostics for Bacterial Pathogens in the Agricultural Supply Chain: From Farm-to-Fork. PHAGE Therapy, Applications, and Research, 1(4), 176-188. https://doi.org/10.1089/phage.2020.0042

Bacteriophages (phages) have great potential not only as therapeutics but as diagnostics. Indeed, they have been developed and used to diagnose and detect bacterial infections, primarily in human clinical settings. The ability to rapidly detect and c...
