Understanding the beneficial role of Faecalibacterium prauznitzii in avian gut health
Manipulation of the chicken intestinal microbiome to reduce the carriage of foodborne bacterial pathogens, such as Salmonella and Campylobacter that colonise the chicken caeca, is seen as a key tool in their control without the use of antimicrobial drugs. Read more
Risk of veterinary diclofenac and other veterinary pharmaceuticals to South American avian scavengers
Avian scavengers provide important ecosystem services, including the consumption of animal carcasses that otherwise would remain in the environment. Read more
Rational microbial-based interventions against bacterial enteric diseases in young livestock.
Neonatal calves and piglets are susceptible to a range of enteric bacterial infections including neonatal scour caused by Salmonella spp. Read more
Protein structure-function analyses of proteins essential for intracellular survival of tick-borne bacteria
Anaplasma are tick-borne pathogens that cause disease in a wide range of different host organisms and have massive impacts on global livestock industries. Read more
Propensity to play as a measure of welfare in dairy cows
Supervisors. Dr Suzanne Held (primary supervisor), Dr Ben Lecorps. Dairy cattle are commonly subjected to stressors (e.g. dehorning, regrouping) as part of routine farm procedures. Read more
Mapping of antigens targeted by the SARS-CoV-2 T-cell response to inform future vaccine design
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19. It's emergence resulted in a pandemic which has caused significant mortality (1). Multiple vaccines, primarily targeting the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, have been developed which protect against severe disease. Read more
Machine learning for tracing pathogens in the food chain
Salmonella is the most important food chain pathogen globally[1], causing infection and mortality in farmed animals and gastrointestinal infection of humans via consumption of contaminated foodstuffs. Read more
Establishing an effective 3D cell culture model for the study of infectious respiratory diseases
Infectious respiratory diseases pose serious threats to human and animal health due to their high mortality and morbidity rates. Lung structure and composition varies between species. Read more
Can cognitive tests be used to predict effectiveness of detection dogs used in human health, conservation and security contexts?
Dogs play an increasingly important role in human health. Their acute sense of small is harnessed as they are trained to detect a range of medical conditions (e.g. Read more
Artificial Intelligence to monitor changes in social behaviour for the early detection of disease in dairy cattle
Dairy cows have been selected to produce high milk volumes but production output is frequently limited by lameness, mastitis and other diseases. Read more
Antimicrobial resistance dynamics and antimicrobial use in wildlife rehabilitation facilities in the United Kingdom
Supervisors. Dr Fernando Sanchez-Vizcaino Buendia (primary supervisor), Dr Irene Bueno. Background. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest global public health threats of the 21st century (Prestinaci et al. Read more
A comparative, mixed-methods study of the delivery of case-based learning in the Bristol Medical and Veterinary Schools
Case-based learning (CBL) is a core component of Bristol University’s innovative medical and veterinary curricula. CBL is founded on the problem-based learning educational strategy introduced at McMaster University and uses the seven-step methodology developed at Maastricht University. Read more
Deciphering the relationship between early life gut microbiomes and the risk of post weaning diarrhoea in piglets
Pig production is an efficient and potentially sustainable source of high-quality animal protein. Read more
