Transverse sectioning in the evaluation of skin biopsy specimens from alopecic dogs. (2020)
Journal Article
Bond, R., Hendricks, A., Patterson-Kane, J., Stevens, K., & Brooks Brownlie, H. W. (2020). Transverse sectioning in the evaluation of skin biopsy specimens from alopecic dogs. Journal of Small Animal Practice,

Transverse sectioning of skin biopsy specimens has revolutionised assessment of human alopecia by demonstration of every hair in each specimen, allowing quantitative evaluation of follicular activity. Since only vertical sectioning is performed routi... Read More about Transverse sectioning in the evaluation of skin biopsy specimens from alopecic dogs..

Reduced antimicrobial prescribing during autogenous staphylococcal bacterin therapy: a retrospective study in dogs with pyoderma (2019)
Journal Article
Wilson, A., Allers, N., Lloyd, D. H., Bond, R., & Loeffler, A. (2019). Reduced antimicrobial prescribing during autogenous staphylococcal bacterin therapy: a retrospective study in dogs with pyoderma. Veterinary Record, 184(24), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.105223

Autogenous staphylococcal bacterins are commonly mentioned as treatment for canine recurrent pyoderma but little is known about their efficacy. This retrospective study describes use and assesses efficacy of an autogenous Staphylococcus (pseud)interm...

A second KRT71 allele in curly coated dogs (2018)
Journal Article
Bauer, A., Hadji Rasouliha, S., Brunner, M. T., Jagannathan, V., Bucher, I., Bannoehr, J., Varjonen, K., Bond, R., Bergvall, K., Welle, M. M., Roosje, P., & Leeb, T. (2018). A second KRT71 allele in curly coated dogs. Animal Genetics, 50(1), 97-100. https://doi.org/10.1111/age.12743

Major characteristics of coat variation in dogs can be explained by variants in only a few genes. Until now, only one missense variant in the KRT71 gene, p.Arg151Trp, has been reported to cause curly hair in dogs. However, this variant does not expla...
