Chicken and duck myotubes are highly susceptible and permissive to influenza virus infection (2014)
Journal Article
Baquero-Perez, B., Kuchipudi, S. V., Ho, J., Sebastian, S., Puranik, A., Howard, W., …Chang, K.-C. (2015). Chicken and duck myotubes are highly susceptible and permissive to influenza virus infection. Journal of Virology, 89(5), https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.03421-14

Skeletal muscle, at 30 to 40% of body mass, is the most abundant soft tissue in the body. Besides its primary function in movement and posture, skeletal muscle is a significant innate immune organ with the capacity to produce cytokines and chemokines...

The effects of age upon the expression of three miRNAs in muscle stem cells isolated from two different porcine skeletal muscles (2014)
Journal Article
Redshaw, Z., Sweetman, D., & Loughna, P. (in press). The effects of age upon the expression of three miRNAs in muscle stem cells isolated from two different porcine skeletal muscles. Differentiation, 88(4-5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.diff.2014.12.001

Aging is associated with a gradual loss of skeletal muscle mass and an impaired ability of this tissue to compensate for trauma. Studies in rodents and humans have also shown that resident stem cells within muscle have a reduced ability to proliferat...

An investigation of the efficacy of a polyvalent mastitis vaccine using different vaccination regimens under field conditions in the United Kingdom (2014)
Journal Article
Bradley, A., Breen, J., Payne, B., White, V., & Green, M. (2015). An investigation of the efficacy of a polyvalent mastitis vaccine using different vaccination regimens under field conditions in the United Kingdom. Journal of Dairy Science, 98(3), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2014-8332

Vaccination can play a useful role in mastitis control programs, although there is a relative dearth of large, well-controlled field efficacy studies. This paper presents the findings on the use of a commercially available vaccine (Startvac, Hipra UK...

Variation in the inter-service intervals of UK dairy cows (2014)
Journal Article
Remnant, J., Green, M. J., Huxley, J., & Hudson, C. (2015). Variation in the inter-service intervals of UK dairy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 98(2), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2014-8366

An understanding of the normal estrous cycle length of the cow is important when managing and monitoring dairy herd fertility. Whilst the normal inter-ovulatory interval is widely considered to be 21 days, some studies have found alternative interval...

Prebiotic and probiotic agents enhance antibody-based immune responses to Salmonella Typhimurium infection in pigs (2014)
Journal Article
Naqid, I. A., Owen, J. P., Maddison, B. C., Gardner, D. S., Foster, N., Tchorzewska, M., …Gough, K. C. (2015). Prebiotic and probiotic agents enhance antibody-based immune responses to Salmonella Typhimurium infection in pigs. Animal Feed Science and Technology, 201, 57-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2014.12.005

Salmonellosis causes significant economic losses to the pig industry and contaminated pork products are an important source of Salmonella for humans. The EU ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoters in pig production, and the emergence of antibio...

Influence of 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25(OH)2D3] on the expression of Sox 9 and the transient receptor potential vanilloid 5/6 ion channels in equine articular chondrocytes (2014)
Journal Article
Hdud, I. M., & Loughna, P. (2014). Influence of 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25(OH)2D3] on the expression of Sox 9 and the transient receptor potential vanilloid 5/6 ion channels in equine articular chondrocytes. Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 56, Article 33. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40781-014-0033-1

Background Sox 9 is a major marker of chondrocyte differentiation. When chondrocytes are cultured in vitro they progressively de-differentiate and this is associated with a decline in Sox 9 expression. The active form of vitamin D, 1, 25 (OH)2D3...

Theoretical evaluation of wall teichoic acids in the cavitation-mediated pores formation in Gram-positive bacteria subjected to an electric field (2014)
Journal Article
Rauch, C., & Leigh, J. A. (in press). Theoretical evaluation of wall teichoic acids in the cavitation-mediated pores formation in Gram-positive bacteria subjected to an electric field. BBA - General Subjects, 1850(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbagen.2014.12.004

Background: Electroporation is a method of choice to transform living cells. The ability of electroporation to transfer small or large chemicals across the lipid bilayer membrane of eukaryotic cells or Gram-negative bacteria relies on the formation o...

Prioritisation of wildlife pathogens to be targeted in European surveillance programmes: expert-based risk analysis focus on ruminants (2014)
Journal Article
Ciliberti, A., Gavier-Widén, D., Yon, L., Hutchings, M. R., & Artois, M. (2015). Prioritisation of wildlife pathogens to be targeted in European surveillance programmes: expert-based risk analysis focus on ruminants. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 118(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2014.11.021

This study attempted to develop a list of priority pathogens. It is part of a European Union (EU) project dedicated to the surveillance of emerging or re-emerging pathogens of wildlife. Partners of the consortium established an initial list of 138 pa...
