Journal Article
Jones, B. A., Rich, K. M., Mariner, J. C., Anderson, J., Jeggo, M., Thevasagayam, S., …Roeder, P. (in press). The Economic Impact of Eradicating Peste des Petits Ruminants: A Benefit-Cost Analysis. PLoS ONE, 11(2), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0149982

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an important cause of mortality and production loss among sheep and goats in the developing world. Despite control efforts in a number of countries, it has continued to spread across Africa and Asia, placing an inc...

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae evades phagocytic uptake by porcine alveolar macrophages in vitro
Journal Article
Deeney, A. S., Maglennon, G. A., Chapat, L., Crussard, S., Jolivet, E., & Rycroft, A. N. (in press). Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae evades phagocytic uptake by porcine alveolar macrophages in vitro. Veterinary Research, 50(51), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-019-0667-6

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia (EP), is able to persist in the lung tissue and evade destruction by the host for several weeks. To understand the mechanism of pathogen survival, phagocytic uptake of M. hyopneumoniae... Read More about Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae evades phagocytic uptake by porcine alveolar macrophages in vitro.

Canine Respiratory Coronavirus, Bovine Coronavirus, and Human Coronavirus OC43: Receptors and Attachment Factors
Journal Article
Szczepanski, A., Owczarek, K., Bzowska, M., Gula, K., Drebot, I., Ochman, M., …Pyrc, K. (in press). Canine Respiratory Coronavirus, Bovine Coronavirus, and Human Coronavirus OC43: Receptors and Attachment Factors. Viruses, 11(4), 328. https://doi.org/10.3390/v11040328

Despite high similarity of canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV), bovine coronavirus, (BCoV) and human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43), these viruses differ in species specificity. For years it was believed that they share receptor specificity, utilizi...
