The status of tularemia in Europe in a one-health context: a review (2014)
Journal Article
Hestvik, G., Warns-Petit, E., Smith, L. A., Fox, N. J., Uhlhorn, H., Artois, M., …Gavier-Widen, D. (2015). The status of tularemia in Europe in a one-health context: a review. Epidemiology and Infection, 143(10), 2137-2160. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0950268814002398

The bacterium Francisella tularensis causes the vector-borne zoonotic disease tularemia, and may infect a wide range of hosts including invertebrates, mammals and birds. Transmission to humans occurs through contact with infected animals or contamina... Read More about The status of tularemia in Europe in a one-health context: a review.

Capturing the complexity of first opinion small animal consultations using direct observation (2014)
Journal Article
Robinson, N. J., Brennan, M. L., Cobb, M., & Dean, R. S. (2015). Capturing the complexity of first opinion small animal consultations using direct observation. Veterinary Record, 176(2), 48-48. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.102548

Various different methods are currently being used to capture data from small animal consultations. The aim of this study was to develop a tool to record detailed data from consultations by direct observation. A second aim was to investigate the comp...

Serotonin controlling feeding and satiety (2014)
Journal Article
Voigt, J.-P., & Fink, H. (2015). Serotonin controlling feeding and satiety. Behavioural Brain Research, 277, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2014.08.065

Serotonin has been implicated in the control of satiety for almost four decades. Historically, the insight that the appetite suppressant effect of fenfluramine is linked to serotonin has stimulated interest in and research into the role of this neuro...

Factors affecting phage D29 infection: a tool to investigate different growth states of mycobacteria (2014)
Journal Article
Swift, B., Gerrard, Z., Huxley, J., & Rees, C. (2014). Factors affecting phage D29 infection: a tool to investigate different growth states of mycobacteria. PLoS ONE, 9(9), Article e106690. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0106690

Bacteriophages D29 and TM4 are able to infect a wide range of mycobacteria, including pathogenic and non pathogenic species. Successful phage infection of both fast- and slow-growing mycobacteria can be rapidly detected using the phage amplification...

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.

Highly sensitive detection of small ruminant bovine spongiform encephalopathy within transmissible spongiform encephalopathy mixes by serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification (2014)
Journal Article
Gough, K. C., Bishop, K., & Maddison, B. C. (2014). Highly sensitive detection of small ruminant bovine spongiform encephalopathy within transmissible spongiform encephalopathy mixes by serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 52(11), https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01693-14

It is assumed that sheep and goats consumed the same bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-contaminated meat and bone meal that was fed to cattle and precipitated the BSE epidemic in the United Kingdom that peaked more than 20 years ago. De- spite i...
