Development of a novel immunochromatographic lateral flow assay specific for Mycobacterium bovis cells and its application in combination with immunomagnetic separation to test badger faeces

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2017
BackgroundThe European badger is an important wildlife reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis implicated in the spread of bovine tuberculosis in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Infected badgers are known to shed M.

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Farmer‐led badger vaccination in Cornwall: Epidemiological patterns and social perspectives

open access: yesPeople and Nature
In the United Kingdom, the management of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) challenges the coexistence of people and wildlife. Control of this cattle disease is hindered by transmission of its causative agent, Mycobacterium bovis, between cattle and badgers Meles

Isolation and characterization of the major plasma apolipoproteins, A-1 and B, in the European badger, Meles meles.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1986
The two major apolipoproteins of badger serum, apoA-I and apoB, have been isolated and characterized. Apolipoprotein A-I was the principal protein of badger lipoproteins with density 1.063-1.21 g/ml and, in addition, was present in the lipoprotein class ...

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Survey of Mycobacterium spp. in Eurasian Badgers (Meles meles) in Central Italy

open access: yesAnimals
A survey to determine the presence of Mycobacterium spp. in the Abruzzo and Molise regions was conducted by testing samples from 124 badgers found dead or road-killed during the 2013–2021 period.

Bovine Tuberculosis and Badger Control in Britain: Science, Policy and Politics

open access: yes, 2017
Bovine tuberculosis (bovine TB) is the most economically important animal health policy issue in Britain. The problem of what to do about badgers has plagued successive governments since a dead badger was discovered with bovine TB in 1971.

‘SOMS BrainSpace’: A digital serious game for undergraduate neuroscience

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomy is challenging for many undergraduates, requiring strong visuospatial skills and a deep understanding of complex concepts. This study developed and evaluated SOMS BrainSpace, a digital serious game for neuroanatomy education, using a mixed methods approach.

Molecular identification of badger-associated Babesia sp. DNA in dogs: updated phylogeny of piroplasms infecting Caniformia

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
BackgroundPiroplasms are unicellular, tick-borne parasites. Among them, during the past decade, an increasing diversity of Babesia spp. has been reported from wild carnivores.
