Journal Article
Gao, W., Zu, Z., Liu, J., Song, J., Wang, X., Wang, C., …Pu, J. (2019). Prevailing I292V PB2 mutation in avian influenza H9N2 virus increases viral polymerase function and attenuates IFN-β induction in human cells. Journal of General Virology, 100(9), 1273-1281. https://doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.001294

Adaptation of PB2 protein is important for the establishment of avian influenza viruses in mammalian hosts. Here, we identify I292V as the prevalent mutation in PB2 of circulating avian H9N2 and pandemic H1N1 viruses. The same dominant PB2 mutation i...

Equine herpesviruses: a roundtable discussion (2019)
Journal Article
Newton, J. R., Ivens, P., Bryant, N., Kydd, J., Rendle, D., Knapp, S., …Moore, S. (2019). Equine herpesviruses: a roundtable discussion. UK-Vet Equine, 3(Sup4), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.12968/ukve.2019.3.S2.1

There are nine different equid herpesviruses (EHVs). Five types (EHV-1 to EHV-5) infect the domestic horse, while EHV-6 to EHV-9 are associated with infections in wild equids including asses and zebra. This review focuses on the commonest and most im... Read More about Equine herpesviruses: a roundtable discussion.

Animals, 9(7), Article 420. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani9070420

Dogs exposed to aversive events can become inactive and unresponsive and are commonly referred to as being "depressed", but this association remains to be tested. We investigated whether shelter dogs spending greater time inactive "awake but motionle...
