Journal Article
Shephard, F., Greville-Heygate, O., Liddell, S., Emes, R. D., & Chakrabarti, L. (2016). Analysis of mitochondrial haemoglobin in Parkinson's disease brain. Mitochondrion, 29, 45-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mito.2016.05.001

Mitochondrial dysfunction is an early feature of neurodegeneration. We have shown there are mitochondrial haemoglobin changes with age and neurodegeneration. We hypothesised that altered physiological processes are associated with recruitment and loc... Read More about Analysis of mitochondrial haemoglobin in Parkinson's disease brain.

Meat inspection has the ultimate objective of declaring the meat and offal obtained from carcasses of slaughtered animals fit or unfit for human consumption. This safeguards the health of consumers by ensuring that the food coming from these establis...

Health knowledge and infection control by event horse owners (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ellis, H., Kendall, N. R., & Kydd, J. H. (2016, April). Health knowledge and infection control by event horse owners. Presented at 10th International Equine Infectious Diseases Conference, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Infection control and quarantine measures are essential to minimise the impact of equine infectious diseases, but their uptake by equestrians involved with sport horses in the United Kingdom is undocumented. Using a questionnaire, this study aimed to... Read More about Health knowledge and infection control by event horse owners.

The ecology of wildlife disease surveillance: demographic and prevalence fluctuations undermine surveillance (2016)
Journal Article

1. Wildlife disease surveillance is the first line of defence against infectious disease. Fluctuations in host populations and disease prevalence are a known feature of wildlife disease systems. However, the impact of such heterogeneities on the per... Read More about The ecology of wildlife disease surveillance: demographic and prevalence fluctuations undermine surveillance.

American Journal of Hematology, 91(8), https://doi.org/10.1002/ajh.24403

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a widely prevalent herpes virus which establishes a state of chronic infection. The establishment of CMV-specific immunity controls viral reactivation and leads to the accumulation of very large numbers of virus-specif...

Bovine paratuberculosis is a disease characterised by chronic granulomatous enteritis which manifests clinically as a protein-losing enteropathy causing diarrhoea, hypoproteinaemia, emaciation and, eventually death. Some evidence exists to suggest a... Read More about Bayesian estimation of prevalence of paratuberculosis in dairy herds enrolled in a voluntary Johne’s Disease Control Programme in Ireland.
