Gestational dietary protein is associated with sex specific decrease in blood flow, fetal heart growth and post-natal blood pressure of progeny (2015)
Journal Article

The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes is higher in pregnancies where the fetus is male. Sex specific differences in feto-placental perfusion indices identified by Doppler assessment have recently been associated with placental insufficiency and...

Virulence related sequences; insights provided by comparative genomics of Streptococcus uberis of differing virulence (2015)
Journal Article

Background

Streptococcus uberis, a Gram-positive, catalase-negative member of the family Streptococcaceae is an important environmental pathogen responsible for a significant proportion of subclinical and clinical bovine intramammary infections. C... Read More about Virulence related sequences; insights provided by comparative genomics of Streptococcus uberis of differing virulence.

Agreement between veterinary patient data collected from different sources (2015)
Journal Article
Robinson, N. J., Brennan, M. L., Cobb, M., & Dean, R. S. (in press). Agreement between veterinary patient data collected from different sources. Veterinary Journal, 205(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2015.04.023

Determining the accuracy of the electronic medical record (EMR) is vital to the progress of practice based research. The aim of this study was to determine the agreement between the EMR and other sources of signalment data. Data were gathered during...

A novel member of the let-7 microRNA family is associated with developmental transitions in filarial nematode parasites (2015)
Journal Article
Winter, A. D., Gillan, V., Maitland, K., Emes, R. D., Roberts, B., McCormack, G., …Devaney, E. (2015). A novel member of the let-7 microRNA family is associated with developmental transitions in filarial nematode parasites. BMC Genomics, 16, Article e331. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-015-1536-y

Background: Filarial nematodes are important pathogens in the tropics transmitted to humans via the bite of blood sucking arthropod vectors. The molecular mechanisms underpinning survival and differentiation of these parasites following transmission...

Investigation into the animal species contents of popular wet pet foods (2015)
Journal Article
Maine, I. R., Atterbury, R. J., & Chang, K.-C. (2015). Investigation into the animal species contents of popular wet pet foods. Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 57(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13028-015-0097-z

Background: The use of the generic term “meat and animal derivatives” in declared ingredient lists of pet foods in the European Union is virtually universal. In the wake of the 2013 “horse meat scandal” in the human food chain, we examined the presen... Read More about Investigation into the animal species contents of popular wet pet foods.
