One Health in Indigenous Communities: A Critical Review of the Evidence (2021)
Journal Article
Riley, T., Anderson, N. E., Lovett, R., Meredith, A., Cumming, B., & Thandrayen, J. (2021). One Health in Indigenous Communities: A Critical Review of the Evidence. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 18(21), Article 11303. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph182111303

Indigenous populations around the world face disproportionately high rates of disease related to the environment and animals. One Health is a concept that has been used effectively to understand and address these health risks. One Health refers to th...

Geographical Distribution and Genetic Diversity of Bank Vole Hepaciviruses in Europe (2021)
Journal Article
Schneider, J., Hoffmann, B., Fevola, C., Schmidt, M. L., Imholt, C., Fischer, S., …Ulrich, R. G. (2021). Geographical Distribution and Genetic Diversity of Bank Vole Hepaciviruses in Europe. Viruses, 13(7), Article 1258. https://doi.org/10.3390/v13071258

The development of new diagnostic methods resulted in the discovery of novel hepaciviruses in wild populations of the bank vole (Myodes glareolus, syn. Clethrionomys glareolus). The naturally infected voles demonstrate signs of hepatitis similar to t... Read More about Geographical Distribution and Genetic Diversity of Bank Vole Hepaciviruses in Europe.

Diagnosing and categorizing leprosy in live Eurasian red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) for management, surveillance, and translocation purposes (2021)
Journal Article
Schilling, A., McCurdy, K., Fish, A., Lurz, P. W., Geluk, A., Van Hooij, A., …Meredith, A. L. (2021). Diagnosing and categorizing leprosy in live Eurasian red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) for management, surveillance, and translocation purposes. Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 52(2), 648-659. https://doi.org/10.1638/2020-0066

The presence of Mycobacterium lepromatosis and Mycobacterium leprae in Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris, ERS) carcasses throughout the British Isles, and leprosy as a disease, have recently been reported using histological and molecular diagno...

Wildlife conservation in a fragmented landscape: the Eurasian red squirrel on the Isle of Wight (2021)
Journal Article
Hardouin, E. A., Butler, H., Cvitanović, M., Ulrich, R. G., Schulze, V., Schilling, A., …Hodder, K. H. (2021). Wildlife conservation in a fragmented landscape: the Eurasian red squirrel on the Isle of Wight. Conservation Genetics, 22, 571–583. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-021-01380-z

Island populations may have a higher extinction risk due to reduced genetic diversity and need to be managed effectively in order to reduce the risk of biodiversity loss. The Eurasian red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in the south of England only surv... Read More about Wildlife conservation in a fragmented landscape: the Eurasian red squirrel on the Isle of Wight.

The genome sequence of the European golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetos Linnaeus 1758 (2021)
Journal Article
Mead, D., Ogden, R., Meredith, A., Peniche, G., Smith, M., Corton, C., …Blaxter, M. (2021). The genome sequence of the European golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetos Linnaeus 1758. Wellcome Open Research, https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16631.1

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetos (the European golden eagle; Chordata; Aves; Accipitridae). The genome sequence is 1.23 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 28 chromosom... Read More about The genome sequence of the European golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetos Linnaeus 1758.

Journal Article
Fountain, K., Blackett, T., Butler, H., Carchedi, C., Schilling, A., Meredith, A., …Feil, E. J. (2021). Fatal exudative dermatitis in island populations of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris): spillover of a virulent Staphylococcus aureus clone (ST49) from reservoir hosts. Microbial Genomics, 7(5), Article 000565. https://doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0.000565

Fatal exudative dermatitis (FED) is a significant cause of death of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) on the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands where it is associated with a virulent clone of Staphylococcus aureus, ST49. S. aureus ST49 has been f...

Bacterial Pathogens and Symbionts Harboured by Ixodes ricinus Ticks Parasitising Red Squirrels in the United Kingdom (2021)
Journal Article
Luu, L., Palomar, A. M., Farrington, G., Schilling, A., Premchand-Branker, S., McGarry, J., …Bell-Sakyi, L. (2021).

Red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) are native to most of Eurasia; in much of the United Kingdom, they have been supplanted by the non-native grey squirrel, and are considered an endangered species. Very little is known about the range of tick-borne pat... Read More about Bacterial Pathogens and Symbionts Harboured by Ixodes ricinus Ticks Parasitising Red Squirrels in the United Kingdom.
