Discovery and Prevalence of Divergent RNA Viruses in European Field Voles and Rabbits (2019)
Journal Article

The advent of unbiased metagenomic virus discovery has revolutionized studies of virus biodiversity and evolution. Despite this, our knowledge of the virosphere, including in mammalian species, remains limited. We used unbiased metagenomic sequencing...

The development and use of Actiphage® to detect viable mycobacteria from bovine tuberculosis and Johne’s disease-infected animals (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Authors. Microbial Biotechnology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd and Society for Applied Microbiology. Here, we describe the development of a method that exploits bacteriophage D29 as a lysis agent for efficient DNA extraction from lo...

First detection of Hepatitis E virus (Orthohepevirus C) in wild brown rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) from Great Britain (2019)
Journal Article

In the United Kingdom, there has been an increase in the number of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections in people annually since 2010. Most of these are thought to be indigenously acquired Orthohepevirus A genotype 3 (HEV G3), which has been linked to...

Detection of Seoul virus in wild brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) from pig farms in Northern England (2019)
Journal Article

Introduction: Hantaviruses are maintained by mammalian hosts, such as rodents, and are shed in their excretions. Clinical disease can occur in humans from spillover infection. Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are the globally distributed reservoir host... Read More about Detection of Seoul virus in wild brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) from pig farms in Northern England.
