Low environmental temperature causes an increase in stereotypic behaviour in captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) (2003)
Journal Article
Rees, P. (2003). Low environmental temperature causes an increase in stereotypic behaviour in captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Journal of Thermal Biology, 29(1), 37-43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtherbio.2003.10.004

(1) Captive Asian elephants exhibited a strong negative correlation between maximum daily temperature and the frequency of stereotypic behaviour, in those animals predisposed to exhibit stereotypies. (2) The frequency of stereotypic behaviours increa... Read More about Low environmental temperature causes an increase in stereotypic behaviour in captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus).

Interactions between landscape changes and host communities can regulate echinococcus multilocularis transmission (2003)

An area close to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau region and subject to intensive deforestation contains a large focus of human alveolar echinococcosis while sporadic human cases occur in the Doubs region of eastern France. The current review analyses and c... Read More about Interactions between landscape changes and host communities can regulate echinococcus multilocularis transmission.

Trypanosoma brucei : trypanosome strain typing using PCR analysis of mobile genetic elements (MGE-PCR) (2003)
Journal Article
Tilley, A., Welburn, S., Fevre, E., Feil, E., & Hide, G. (2003). Trypanosoma brucei : trypanosome strain typing using PCR analysis of mobile genetic elements (MGE-PCR). Experimental Parasitology, 104(1-2), 26-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0014-4894%2803%2900114-0

We describe the development of a single-primer amplification system, which uses the trypanosomal mobile genetic element RIME as a molecular marker for the differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei stocks. Using a well-characterised set of T. brucei stock... Read More about Trypanosoma brucei : trypanosome strain typing using PCR analysis of mobile genetic elements (MGE-PCR).
