From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Proteomic Profiling of Alveolar Macrophages Identifies Loss of Lysosomal Content as an Indicator of Nanofiber‐Induced Frustrated Phagocytosis

Small, EarlyView.
This proteomic study examines how nanofibers affect lung macrophages by analyzing protein changes following exposure to various fibrous materials. Nanofibers triggered the release of inflammatory enzymes, and importantly, lysosomal content release was identified as an early event associated with frustrated phagocytosis. Seventeen sensitive and relevant

Between‐country differences in the psychosocial profiles of British cattle farmers

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Psychosocial factors are important for the uptake of livestock disease control measures by farmers and can differ by region, which would have implications for disease control nationally. Methods We investigated altruism, trust, psychological proximity and the COM‐B behaviour change framework in a survey of 475 British cattle farmers

Badgers as a potential source of bovine tuberculosis – first studies in Poland

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2018
Since 2009, Poland has been recognized as a country officially free of bovine tuberculosis (BTB). However, new outbreaks are each year quoted. In many countries it has been shown that badgers ( Meles meles ) are a vector of Mycobacterium bovis/caprae (

Scoping review to assess online guidance about poultry farm biosecurity for farmers in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Biosecurity is the primary defence against diseases such as avian influenza (AI) for poultry farms. This research reviews online resources to assess the availability and topics shaping biosecurity advice for poultry farmers. Methods A rapid scoping review examined biosecurity guidelines available to UK poultry farmers on 10 websites

Epidemiological situation of bovine tuberculosis in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2016
The epidemiological situation of bovine tuberculosis was studied in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The state was divided into three regions, and a predetermined number of properties was randomly sampled in each region. In each property, females aged 24

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.
