MGE-PCR : a novel approach to the analysis of toxoplasma gondii strain differentiation using mobile genetic elements (2001)
Journal Article
Terry, R., Smith, J., Duncanson, P., & Hide, G. (2001). MGE-PCR : a novel approach to the analysis of toxoplasma gondii strain differentiation using mobile genetic elements. International Journal for Parasitology, 31(2), 155-161. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0020-7519%2800%2900158-2

The position of mobile genetic elements (MGE) within eukaryotic genomes is often highly variable and we have exploited this phenomenon to develop a novel approach to strain differentiation in Toxoplasma gondii. Two PCR based strategies were designed... Read More about MGE-PCR : a novel approach to the analysis of toxoplasma gondii strain differentiation using mobile genetic elements.

Generation of a mosaic pattern of diversity in the major merozoite-piroplasm surface antigen of Theileria annulata (2000)
Journal Article

The polypeptide Tams1 is an immunodominant major merozoite piroplasm surface antigen of the protozoan parasite Theileria annulata. Generation and selection of divergent antigenic types has implications for the inclusion of the Tams1 antigen in a subu...

History of sleeping sickness in East Africa. (1999)
Journal Article
G, H. (1999). History of sleeping sickness in East Africa. Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 12, 112-25. https://doi.org/10.1128/CMR.12.1.112

The history of human sleeping sickness in East Africa is characterized by the appearance of disease epidemics interspersed by long periods of endemicity. Despite the presence of the tsetse fly in large areas of East Africa, these epidemics tend to oc... Read More about History of sleeping sickness in East Africa..

Book Chapter
Hide, G. (1998). The molecular epidemiology of parasites. . Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1569-2582%2897%2980018-9

This chapter discusses the basic principles of the epidemiology of parasites and surveys the application of modem molecular biology technology to the understanding of parasite epidemiology. One of the primary problems in parasite epidemiology is the... Read More about The molecular epidemiology of parasites.

The molecular epidemiology of parasites (1991)
Journal Article
G, H., & A, T. (1991). The molecular epidemiology of parasites. #Journal not on list, 47, 128–142. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01945413

The explosion of new techniques, made available by the rapid advance in molecular biology, has provided a battery of novel approaches and technology which can be applied to more practical issues such as the epidemiology of parasites. In this review,... Read More about The molecular epidemiology of parasites.

Identification of an epidermal growth factor receptor homologue in trypanosomes (1989)
Journal Article
Hide, G., Gray, A., Harrison, C. M., & Tait, A. (1989). Identification of an epidermal growth factor receptor homologue in trypanosomes. Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 36(1), 51-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/0166-6851%2889%2990199-0

Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of cell growth regulation in mammalian cells. In particular, studies on transformed and normal cells have highlighted the contribution of growth factor-related control mechanisms in cell growt...
