Proven as a natural barrier against viral infection, pulmonary surfactant phospholipids have a biophysical and immunological role within the respiratory system, acting against microorganisms including viruses. Enveloped viruses have, in common, an ou... Read More about Lipid biophysics and/or soft matter-inspired approach for controlling enveloped virus infectivity.

Development of Plant-Based Vaccines for Prevention of Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease in Poultry (2022)
Journal Article
Nurzijah, I., Elbohy, O. A., Kanyuka, K., Daly, J. M., & Dunham, S. (2022). Development of Plant-Based Vaccines for Prevention of Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease in Poultry. Vaccines, 10(3), Article 478. https://doi.org/10.3390/vaccines10030478

Viral diseases, including avian influenza (AI) and Newcastle disease (ND), are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in poultry, resulting in significant economic losses. Despite the availability of commercial vaccines for the major viral dis... Read More about Development of Plant-Based Vaccines for Prevention of Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease in Poultry.

Clearance of Maedi-visna infection in a longitudinal study of naturally infected rams is associated with homozygosity for the TMEM154 resistance allele (2022)
Journal Article
Jones, S., McKay, H., Eden, L., Bollard, N., Dunham, S., Davies, P., & Tarlinton, R. (2022). Clearance of Maedi-visna infection in a longitudinal study of naturally infected rams is associated with homozygosity for the TMEM154 resistance allele. Journal of Medical Microbiology, 71(2), Article 001506. https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.001506

Maedi-visna (MV) is a lentiviral disease of sheep responsible for severe production losses in affected flocks. There are no vaccination or treatment options with control reliant on test and cull strategies. The most common diagnostic methods used at...
