Multiple sclerosis between genetics and infections: human endogenous retroviruses in monocytes and macrophages (2015)
Journal Article
Morandi, E., Tarlinton, R., & Gran, B. (2015). Multiple sclerosis between genetics and infections: human endogenous retroviruses in monocytes and macrophages. Frontiers in Immunology, 6, https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2015.00647

The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is still unknown, but there is strong evidence that genetic predisposition associated with environmental factors can trigger the disease. An estimated 30 million years ago, exogenous retroviruses are thought to...

Longitudinal study of Asian elephants, Elephas maximus, indicates intermittent shedding of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus 1 during pregnancy (2015)
Journal Article

Longitudinal study of Asian elephants, Elephas maximus, indicates intermittent shedding of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus 1 during pregnancy. Veterinary Record Open, 2(1), Article e000088. https://doi.org/10.1136/vetreco-2014-000088

Introduction: EEHV-1 is a viral infection of elephants that has been associated with a fatal haemorrhagic syndrome in Asian elephants. Previous studies have suggested that pregnant animals may shed more virus than non-pregnant animals. Methods: This...

Comparison of Schmallenberg virus antibody levels detected in milk and serum from individual cows (2015)
Journal Article
Daly, J. M., King, B., Tarlinton, R. A., Gough, K. C., Maddison, B. C., & Blowey, R. (2015). Comparison of Schmallenberg virus antibody levels detected in milk and serum from individual cows. BMC Veterinary Research, 11, Article 56. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-015-0365-1

© Daly et al.; licensee BioMed Central. Background: Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a recently emerged virus of ruminants in Europe. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are commonly used to detect SBV-specific antibodies in bulk tank milk samples...

Multiple groups of endogenous epsilon-like retroviruses conserved across primates (2014)
Journal Article
Brown, K., Emes, R. D., & Tarlinton, R. E. (2014). Multiple groups of endogenous epsilon-like retroviruses conserved across primates. Journal of Virology, 88(21), https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00966-14

Several types of cancer in fish are caused by retroviruses, including those responsible for major outbreaks of disease, such as walleye dermal sarcoma virus and salmon swim bladder sarcoma virus. These viruses form a phylogenetic group often describe... Read More about Multiple groups of endogenous epsilon-like retroviruses conserved across primates.

Characterisation of the horse transcriptome from immunologically active tissues (2014)
Journal Article
Moreton, J., Malla, S., Aboobaker, A., Tarlinton, R. E., & Emes, R. D. (2014). Characterisation of the horse transcriptome from immunologically active tissues. PeerJ, 2, Article e382. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.382

The immune system of the horse has not been well studied, despite the fact that the horse displays several features such as sensitivity to bacterial lipopolysaccharide that make them in many ways a more suitable model of some human disorders than the...

Characterisation of a group of endogenous gammaretroviruses in the canine genome (2013)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R. E., Barfoot, H. K., Allen, C. E., Brown, K., Gifford, R. J., & Emes, R. D. (2013). Characterisation of a group of endogenous gammaretroviruses in the canine genome. Veterinary Journal, 196(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2012.08.011

Bioinformatics were used to identify and characterise 39 pol, 34 gag and five env gammaretroviruses within the canine (Canis lupus familiaris) reference genome. These endogenous retroviruses are monophyletic to the Canidae, predate the divergence of... Read More about Characterisation of a group of endogenous gammaretroviruses in the canine genome.
