All Roads Lead to Rome: Pathways to Engineering Disease Resistance in Plants

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, February 3, 2025.
Crops lost to diseases necessitate a deeper understanding of plant immunity and the development of disease resistance. Here, the arms‐race between plants and pathogens is briefly described, and a comprehensive overview of the current and emerging strategies for engineering disease resistance in plants is provided.

Optimization of a Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay for In-Field Detection of Dichelobacter nodosus With aprV2 (VDN LAMP) in Victorian Sheep Flocks

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Dichelobacter nodosus is the primary etiological agent of footrot in sheep and has a variety of virulence factors. Of these, AprV2, an extracellular protease, has been shown to be capable of causing severe or “virulent” disease symptoms under the right ...

Rapid and Cost‐Effective Platypus eDNA Detection in Waterways Using Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay: Advancing Conservation Efforts

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 5, September–October 2024.
The platypus faces multiple threats, necessitating practical monitoring tools like the Plat‐LAMP assay for rapid DNA detection in water samples. This study showcases the assay's sensitivity, specificity, and potential for cost‐effective, field‐friendly environmental monitoring to aid platypus conservation.

Ewe culling in New Zealand: an interview study of 38 farmers

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 361-371, June 2024.
ABSTRACT Removal of ewes from a flock before the end of their productive life, sometimes described as ewe wastage, can potentially lead to reduced flock productivity. While the main reasons for culling ewes are largely known, their relative importance to New Zealand farmers and farmers’ rational behind their culling decisions are not.

A Pilot Study to Investigate the Feasibility of a Multiple Locus Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis to Understand the Epidemiology of Dichelobacter nodosus in Ovine Footrot

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Dichelobacter nodosus is the essential pathogen in ovine footrot, an important cause of lameness in sheep that reduces productivity and welfare. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using multiple locus variable number tandem ...

Flock health planning: How to move from a plan to a reflective planning process in Northern Irish sheep flocks?

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 184, Issue 3, Page 339-351, May 2024.
This is a predominantly qualitative study of the beliefs and behaviours of sheep farmers, and their veterinarians, from across Northern Ireland, surrounding their flock health plans and flock health planning process. Sheep farmers participating saw their health plan as a static, physical document rather than an ongoing continuous cycle of improvement ...

The prevalence of Dichelobacter nodosus in clinically footrot-free sheep flocks: a comparative field study on elimination strategies

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Ovine footrot caused by Dichelobacter nodosus (D nodosus) is an infectious disease affecting sheep worldwide. Switzerland plans a nationwide footrot eradication program, based on PCR-testing of interdigital swab samples.
