Avian Cardiovascular Disease Characteristics, Causes and Genomics (2018)
Book Chapter
Kubale, V., Merry, K., Miller, G., Ruiz Diaz, M., & Rutland, C. (2018). Avian Cardiovascular Disease Characteristics, Causes and Genomics. In X. Liu (Ed.), Application of genetics and genomics in poultry science (141-162). InTech. https://doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.78005

Cardiovascular disease is common in avian species and increasing commercial economic losses and demand for healthcare in the household/smallholding veterinary sector has resulted in increased research into these disorders. This in turn has highlighte... Read More about Avian Cardiovascular Disease Characteristics, Causes and Genomics.

Mending a broken heart—the genetics of heart disease (2018)
Journal Article
Clark, N., Alibhai, A., & Rutland, C. S. (2018). Mending a broken heart—the genetics of heart disease. Frontiers for Young Minds, 6, Article 19. https://doi.org/10.3389/frym.2018.00019

Heart disease is a major cause of health problems worldwide. There are many different types of heart disease, but one that is fairly common and can have lots of negative side effects is called cardiomyopathy. We know that humans and many mammals, inc...
