Background: Although sexual reproduction of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii exclusively occurs in the cat intestine, knowledge about the alteration of gene expression in the intestine of cats infected with T. gondii is still limited. Here, we investig... Read More about Transcriptomic insights into the early host-pathogen interaction of cat intestine with Toxoplasma gondii.

First detection of Hepatitis E virus (Orthohepevirus C) in wild brown rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) from Great Britain (2019)
Journal Article
Murphy, E. G., Williams, N. J., Jennings, D., Chantrey, J., Verin, R., Grierson, S., …Bennett, M. (2019).

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...
