Prebiotic and probiotic agents enhance antibody-based immune responses to Salmonella Typhimurium infection in pigs (2014)
Journal Article

Salmonellosis causes significant economic losses to the pig industry and contaminated pork products are an important source of Salmonella for humans. The EU ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoters in pig production, and the emergence of antibio...

The application of eDNA for monitoring of the great crested newt in the UK (2014)
Journal Article

Current ecological surveys for great crested newts are time-consuming and expensive and can only be carried out within a short survey window. Additional survey methods which would facilitate the detection of rare or protected species such as the grea...

Highly sensitive detection of small ruminant bovine spongiform encephalopathy within transmissible spongiform encephalopathy mixes by serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification (2014)
Journal Article

It is assumed that sheep and goats consumed the same bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-contaminated meat and bone meal that was fed to cattle and precipitated the BSE epidemic in the United Kingdom that peaked more than 20 years ago. De- spite i...

The detection of aquatic animal species using environmental DNA – a review of eDNA as a survey tool in ecology (2014)
Journal Article

1. Knowledge of species distribution is critical to ecological management and conservation biology. Effective management requires the detection of populations, which can sometimes be at low densities and is usually based on visual detection and count...

Recombinant plants provide a new approach to the production of bacterial polysaccharide for vaccines (2014)
Journal Article

Bacterial polysaccharides have numerous clinical or industrial uses. Recombinant plants could offer the possibility of producing bacterial polysaccharides on a large scale and free of contaminating bacterial toxins and antigens. We investigated the f...
