A review and illustrated description of Musca crassirostris, one of the most neglected haematophagous livestock flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 16-30, March 2019., 2019
Musca crassirostris belongs to a group of true obligate blood feeders that are highly prolific and abundant around cattle. Its mentum is a boat‐shaped, black, shiny mass of chitin, and its labella harbours rasping prestomal teeth that are greatly increased in size and strength compared with those in other Musca spp.

Macrophage Activation and Functions during Helminth Infection: Recent Advances from the Laboratory Mouse

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Macrophages are highly plastic innate immune cells that adopt an important diversity of phenotypes in response to environmental cues. Helminth infections induce strong type 2 cell‐mediated immune responses, characterized among other things by production of high levels of interleukin‐ (IL‐) 4 and IL‐13.

Three cases of imported eyeworm infection in dogs: a new threat for the United Kingdom

Veterinary Record, Volume 181, Issue 13, Page 346-346, September 2017., 2017
In July 2016 we described the first known case of canine ocular thelaziosis in the UK in a dog recently imported from Romania. Here we confirm our initial diagnosis using PCR followed by sequence analysis, and we report a further two clinical cases in dogs with recent history of travel to Italy and France.
