West Nile Virus (WNV) is the causative agent of a vector-borne, zoonotic disease with a worldwide distribution. Recent expansion and introduction of WNV into new areas, including southern Europe, has been associated with severe disease in humans and...

Journal Article
Nilsson, E. M., Fainberg, H. P., Choong, S. S., Giles, T. C., Sells, J., May, S., Stansfield, F. J., Allen, W. R., Emes, R. D., Mostyn, A., Mongan, N. P., & Yon, L. (2014). Molecular Characterization of Adipose Tissue in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana). PLoS ONE, 9(3), Article e91717. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0091717

Adipose tissue (AT) is a dynamic and flexible organ with regulatory roles in physiological functions including metabolism, reproduction and inflammation; secreted adipokines, including leptin, and fatty acids facilitate many of these roles. The Afric... Read More about Molecular Characterization of Adipose Tissue in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana).

The occurrence ofAnaplasma phagocytophilumwas investigated in spleen and serum samplesfrom Swedish moose (Alces alces) in southern Sweden (island and mainland). Samples wereanalysed for presence ofA. phagocytophilumDNA by real-time PCR (n=263), and f...
