The adaptive immune response to Trichuris in wild versus laboratory mice: An established model system in context (2024)
Journal Article

Laboratory model organisms have provided a window into how the immune system functions. An increasing body of evidence, however, suggests that the immune responses of naive laboratory animals may differ substantially to those of their wild counterpar...

Parasitic nematodes of the genus Syphacia Seurat, 1916 infecting Cricetidae in the British Isles: The enigmatic status of Syphacia nigeriana (2021)
Journal Article

Oxyurid nematodes (Syphacia spp.) from bank (Myodes glareolus) and field/common (Microtus spp.) voles, from disparate geographical sites in the British Isles, were examined morphologically and genetically. The genetic signatures of 118 new isolates a...

Geographical location influences the composition of the gut microbiota in wild house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) at a fine spatial scale (2019)
Journal Article

The composition of the mammalian gut microbiota can be influenced by a multitude of environmental variables such as diet and infections. Studies investigating the effect of these variables on gut microbiota composition often sample across multiple se...

Immune state is associated with natural dietary variation in wild mice Mus musculus domesticus (2019)
Journal Article

1. The ability, propensity and need to mount an immune response vary both among individuals and within a single individual over time. 2. A wide array of parameters have been found to influence immune state in carefully controlled experiments, but...
