Leishmania infection causes diverse clinical manifestations in humans. The disease outcome is complicated by the combination of many host and parasite factors. Inbred mouse strains vary in resistance to Leishmania major but are highly susceptible to... Read More about Innate resistance to Leishmania amazonensis Infection in rat is dependent on NOS2.

Understanding transmission and control of Cystic Echinococcosis and other taeniid infections in the Falkland Islands (2021)
Thesis
West, D. Understanding transmission and control of Cystic Echinococcosis and other taeniid infections in the Falkland Islands. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cystic echinococcosis, caused by the larval form of the cestode parasite Echinococcus granulosus, has been identified as an important public health risk in the Falkland Islands since the early 1940s. This prompted the instigation of an intensive cont... Read More about Understanding transmission and control of Cystic Echinococcosis and other taeniid infections in the Falkland Islands.

A Fourth Way : the role of cultural heritage in embedding place-driven innovation (2021)
Thesis
Devaney, C. A Fourth Way : the role of cultural heritage in embedding place-driven innovation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Set against an already powerful context of political instability and global economic uncertainty, and further intensified by the unprecedented challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the paradigm of ‘place’ which, prior to the pandemic, had se...
