Hepatic stellate cells and parasite-induced liver fibrosis (2010)
Journal Article
Anthony, B., Allen, J., Li, Y., & McManus, D. (2010). Hepatic stellate cells and parasite-induced liver fibrosis. Parasites and Vectors, 3(1), 60. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-3305-3-60

ABSTRACT: Fibrogenesis is a common feature of many diseases where there is severe insult to the liver. The hepatic stellate cell trans-differentiation into a myofibroblast has been identified as an important event in liver fibrogenesis and has been w...

Constraints to estimating the prevalence of trypanosome infections in East African zebu cattle (2010)
Journal Article

In East Africa, animal trypanosomiasis is caused by many tsetse transmitted protozoan parasites including Trypanosoma vivax, T. congolense and subspecies of T. brucei s.l. (T. b. brucei and zoonotic human infective T. b. rhodesiense) that may co-circ... Read More about Constraints to estimating the prevalence of trypanosome infections in East African zebu cattle.

Peoples’ use of, and concerns about, green space networks: A case study of Birchwood, Warrington New Town, UK (2010)
Journal Article
Tzoulas, K., & James, P. (2010). Peoples’ use of, and concerns about, green space networks: A case study of Birchwood, Warrington New Town, UK. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening, 9(2), 121-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug.2009.12.001

Cultural services provided by green space networks and in particular leisure and recreational opportunities are central to the quality of life of those living in urban areas. However, the literature concerned with green space networks has mainly focu...

Calls, colours, shape, and genes: a multi-trait approach to the study of geographic variation in the Amazonian frog allobates femoralis (2009)
Journal Article
frog allobates femoralis. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 98(4), 826-838. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.2009.01324.x

Evolutionary divergence in behavioural traits related to mating may represent the initial stage of speciation. Direct
selective forces are usually invoked to explain divergence in mate-recognition traits, often neglecting a role for
neutral process... Read More about Calls, colours, shape, and genes: a multi-trait approach to the study of geographic variation in the Amazonian frog allobates femoralis.

Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness (2009)
Journal Article
Hide, G., & Tait, A. (2009). Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness. Parasitology, 136(12), 1491-500. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182009990333

Human sleeping sickness in Africa, caused by Trypanosoma brucei spp. raises a number of questions. Despite the widespread distribution of the tsetse vectors and animal trypanosomiasis, human disease is only found in discrete foci which periodically g...

Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female (2009)
Journal Article
Isaac, R., Li, C., Leedale, A., & Shirras, A. (2009). Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 277(1678), 65-70. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2009.1236

Quiescence, or a sleep-like state, is a common and important feature of the daily lives of animals from both invertebrate and vertebrate taxa, suggesting that sleep appeared early in animal evolution. Recently, Drosophila melanogaster has been shown... Read More about Drosophila male sex peptide inhibits siesta sleep and promotes locomotor activity in the post-mated female.

Ultraviolet radiation and Vitamin D3 in amphibian health, behaviour, diet and conservation (2009)
Journal Article

Amphibians are currently suffering a period of mass extinction with approximately 20% of species under severe
threat and more than 120 species already extinct. In light of this crisis there is an urgency to establish viable ex
situ populations and... Read More about Ultraviolet radiation and Vitamin D3 in amphibian health, behaviour, diet and conservation.

Arsenic burden from cooked rice in the populations of arsenic affected and nonaffected areas and Kolkata city in west-Bengal, India (2009)
Journal Article
Pal, A., Chowdhury, U., Mondal, D., Das, B., Nayak, B., & Chakraborti, D. (2009). Arsenic burden from cooked rice in the populations of arsenic affected and nonaffected areas and Kolkata city in west-Bengal, India. https://doi.org/10.1021/es803414j

Arsenic contamination of rice irrigated with contaminated groundwater contributes to the additional arsenic burden of the population where rice is the staple food. In an arsenic contaminated area, an experimental field-based study done on nine fields...
