Determining the impact of protozoan and strongylid parasites on meat lamb productivity: Utilising molecular diagnostic methods for the detection of internal parasites in lambs [PDF]
, 2012 Internal parasites (strongylid gastrointestinal helminths) have been reported to decrease lamb productivity in extensive grazing sheep enterprises. Increased interest into intestinal, protozoan parasites; Cryptosporidium and Giardia, has arisen due to ...

Human amnion epithelial cells modulate the inflammatory response to ventilation in preterm lambs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Ventilation of preterm neonates causes pulmonary inflammation that can contribute to lung injury, propagate systemically and result in long-term disease. Modulation of this initial response may reduce lung injury and its sequelae.

The role of the environment in transmission of Dichelobacter nodosus between ewes and their lambs [PDF]
, 2015 Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) is the essential causative agent of footrot in sheep. The current study investigated when D. nodosus was detectable on newborn lambs and possible routes of transmission. Specific qPCR was used to detect and quantify the
