Maternal nutrient restriction during pregnancy differentially alters the unfolded protein response in adipose and renal tissue of obese juvenile offspring (2008)
Journal Article
Sharkey, D., Gardner, D. S., Fainberg, H. P., Sébert, S., Bos, P., Wilson, V., Bell, R., Symonds, M. E., & Budge, H. (2009). Maternal nutrient restriction during pregnancy differentially alters the unfolded protein response in adipose and renal tissue of obese juvenile offspring. FASEB Journal, 23(5), 1314-1324. https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.08-114330

Maternal diet during pregnancy can program an offspring's risk of disease in later life. Obesity adversely alters renal and adipose tissue function, resulting in chronic kidney disease and insulin resistance, respectively, the latter associated with...

Endogenous retroviruses: Biology and evolution of the endogenous koala retrovirus (2008)
Journal Article
Tarlinton, R., Meers, J., & Young, P. (2008). Endogenous retroviruses: Biology and evolution of the endogenous koala retrovirus. Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 65(21), 3413-3421. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-008-8499-y

Although endogenous retroviruses are ubiquitous features of all mammalian genomes, the process of initial germ line invasion and subsequent inactivation from a pathogenic element has not yet been observed in a wild species. Koala retrovirus (KoRV) pr... Read More about Endogenous retroviruses: Biology and evolution of the endogenous koala retrovirus.

Vaccine failure caused an outbreak of equine influenza in Croatia (2008)
Journal Article
Barbic, L., Madic, J., Turk, N., & Daly, J. (2009). Vaccine failure caused an outbreak of equine influenza in Croatia. Veterinary Microbiology, 133(1-2), 164-171. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2008.06.009

In April 2004 an outbreak of equine influenza occurred at the Zagreb hippodrome, Croatia. Clinical respiratory disease of the same intensity was recorded in vaccinated and non-vaccinated horses. The equine influenza vaccine used in Croatia at the tim... Read More about Vaccine failure caused an outbreak of equine influenza in Croatia.

Cow, farm, and herd management factors in the dry period associated with raised somatic cell counts in early lactation (2008)
Journal Article
Green, M. J., Medley, G. F., Browne, W. J., & Bradley, A. J. (2008). Cow, farm, and herd management factors in the dry period associated with raised somatic cell counts in early lactation. Journal of Dairy Science, 91(4), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2007-0621

This study investigated cow characteristics, farm facilities, and herd management strategies during the dry period to examine their joint influence on somatic cell counts (SCC) in early lactation. Data from 52 commercial dairy farms throughout Englan... Read More about Cow, farm, and herd management factors in the dry period associated with raised somatic cell counts in early lactation.

Recognition and management of pain in cattle (2008)
Journal Article
Hudson, C., Whay, H., & Huxley, J. (2008). Recognition and management of pain in cattle. In Practice, 30(3), https://doi.org/10.1136/inpract.30.3.126

Attitudes towards pain and its control in farm animals have lagged behind those in companion animal species. However, a considerable amount of work over the past 15 years has focused on the perception of pain in cattle based on objective and subjecti...

Protection, systemic IFNγ, and antibody responses induced by an ISCOM-based vaccine against a recent equine influenza virus in its natural host (2008)
Journal Article
Paillot, R., Grimmett, H., Elton, D., & Daly, J. M. (2008). Protection, systemic IFNγ, and antibody responses induced by an ISCOM-based vaccine against a recent equine influenza virus in its natural host. Veterinary Research, 39(3), Article 21. https://doi.org/10.1051/vetres%3A2007062

In the horse, conventional inactivated or subunit vaccines against equine influenza virus (EIV) induce a short-lived antibody-based immunity to infection. Alternative strategies of vaccination have been subsequently developed to mimic the long-term p...

Direct and indirect contacts between cattle farms in north-west England (2008)
Journal Article
Brennan, M. L., Kemp, R., & Christley, R. M. (in press). Direct and indirect contacts between cattle farms in north-west England. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 84(3/4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2007.12.009

Little is known regarding the types and frequencies of contact that exist between farms and which of these may act as pathogen transmission routes; however it is likely that farms demonstrate considerable heterogeneity in such contacts. In this cross... Read More about Direct and indirect contacts between cattle farms in north-west England.
