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
Mathematical modelling of transmission and worldwide distribution of neglected zoonotic diseases (Q fever)
A 3-year fully funded position is available to contribute substantially to the development of a new modelling approach for the prediction and control of zoonotic diseases (Q fever). Read more
The role of grazing in ecosystem service delivery in saltmarsh restoration schemes
Managed realignment, where coastal flood defences are breached or lowered to introduce tidal inundation to the coastal hinterland, is becoming an increasingly popular approach to coastal management to restore saltmarsh environments and compensate for habitat and ecosystem service loss elsewhere.
