Epidemiology of a Hybrid Swarm: Evidence of 11 Feline Infectious Agents Circulating in a Population of Sympatric European Wildcat Hybrids and Free-Living Domestic Cats, in Scotland (2023)
Journal Article
Hybridisation between wild and domestic species poses a serious challenge to conservation management and can, potentially, lead to extinction. Alongside it, disease transmission will inevitably occur. However, the link between these two phenomena has...

Hacking techniques improve health and nutritional status of nestling White-tailed Eagles (2023)
Journal Article
Determining sex in golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nestlings (2022)
Journal Article
Incorporating sex ratios of nestlings into population viability studies increases knowledge of overall health of endangered populations. Currently, a reliable non-invasive method to identify the sex of golden eagle nestlings is not available; however... Read More about Determining sex in golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nestlings.
Zoonoses and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population: A One Health scoping review (2022)
Journal Article
With limited access to animal health services, and high disease burdens among domesticated animals, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia face higher risk of disease including zoonoses. However, we lack understanding of the c... Read More about Zoonoses and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population: A One Health scoping review.
Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in burrowing bettongs (Bettongia lesueur): a comparison of cat-free and cat-exposed populations (2022)
Journal Article
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous protozoan transmitted by felids and infection, morbidity, and mortality occur in numerous marsupial species. This study explores the relationship between cat exposure and Toxoplasma in burrowing bettongs (Bettongia l...

Establishing haematological and biochemical reference intervals for free-ranging Scottish golden eagle nestlings (Aquila chrysaetos) (2022)
Journal Article
Health assessment of individuals is an important aspect of monitoring endangered wildlife populations. Haematological and biochemical values are a common health assessment tool, and whilst reference values are well established for domestic species, t...

Capacity building for wildlife health professionals: the Wildlife Health Bridge (2022)
Journal Article
The Wildlife Health Bridge was established in 2009 with the aim of improving the expertise and knowledge base of wildlife health professionals in biodiverse low- and middle-income countries. The Wildlife Health Bridge centres around partnerships amon... Read More about Capacity building for wildlife health professionals: the Wildlife Health Bridge.
CLINICAL PROGRESSION OF LEPROSY IN EURASIAN RED SQUIRRELS (SCIURUS VULGARIS) IN A NATURALLY INFECTED WILD POPULATION (2021)
Journal Article
Leprosy has been described in Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris; ERS) carcasses since 2014. Studies of ERS carcasses have not provided information about incubation or disease progression in this host but have provided important insights into pa...

One Health in Indigenous Communities: A Critical Review of the Evidence (2021)
Journal Article
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
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
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
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
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.
Fatal exudative dermatitis in island populations of red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris): spillover of a virulent Staphylococcus aureus clone (ST49) from reservoir hosts (2021)
Journal Article
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...
