Impact of climate on Australian, non‐Vector‐borne infectious animal diseases: A scoping review
Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Changes to Australia's climate continue to be increasingly relevant for human, animal and planetary health, and have far‐reaching impacts on disease emergence and food security. There is a deficit of knowledge in Australia around how climatic conditions are affecting infectious animal diseases, beyond the more obvious spatial distribution changes of ...

Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.

Bacteriophage P22 Virus‐Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting
