An unusual presentation of Chlamydia pneumoniaeinfection in a Royal Python (Python regius) (2014)
Journal Article
Cope, I., Wheelhouse, N., Pocknell, A., Dagleish, M., & Summers, B. (2014). An unusual presentation of Chlamydia pneumoniaeinfection in a Royal Python (Python regius). Veterinary record case reports, 2(1), Article e000086. https://doi.org/10.1136/vetreccr-2014-000086

Chlamydia species are a relatively newly recognised and emerging pathogen in reptile species. Chlamydia pneumoniae has been reported to cause infections in several snake species, as well as other reptiles and amphibia, leading to granulomatous lesion...

Waddlia chondrophila Infects and Multiplies in Ovine Trophoblast Cells Stimulating an Inflammatory Immune Response (2014)
Journal Article
Wheelhouse, N., Coyle, C., Barlow, P. G., Mitchell, S., Greub, G., Baszler, T., Rae, M. T., & Longbottom, D. (2014). Waddlia chondrophila Infects and Multiplies in Ovine Trophoblast Cells Stimulating an Inflammatory Immune Response. PLOS ONE, 9(7), Article e102386. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0102386

BACKGROUND

Waddlia chondrophila (W. chondrophila) is an emerging abortifacient organism which has been identified in the placentae of humans and cattle. The organism is a member of the order Chlamydiales, and shares many similarities at the genome...

Chlamydia in cases of bovine abortion in Ireland (2014)
Journal Article
Wheelhouse, N., Longbottom, D., & O'Donovan, J. (2014). Chlamydia in cases of bovine abortion in Ireland. Veterinary Record, 174(22), 560-561. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.g3567

We report the findings of a preliminary investigation into chlamydial involvement in cases of bovine abortion in Ireland. Chlamydia abortus has long been recognised as a known major cause of ruminant abortion. However, several newly recognised specie... Read More about Chlamydia in cases of bovine abortion in Ireland.

Absence of correlation between serum CRP levels and mitochondrial D-loop DNA mutations in gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma (2014)
Journal Article
Tan, B. H. L., Skipworth, R. J. E., Wheelhouse, N. M., Fearon, K. C. H., & Ross, J. A. (2014). Absence of correlation between serum CRP levels and mitochondrial D-loop DNA mutations in gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics, 10(1), 176-179. https://doi.org/10.4103/0973-1482.131458

INTRODUCTION: Both inflammation and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation are thought to play a role in the many human cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between inflammation and accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mut...

Psittacine beak and feather disease in a free-living ring-necked parakeet (Psittacula krameri) in Great Britain. (2014)
Journal Article
Sa, R. C. C., Cunningham, A. A., Dagleish, M. P., Wheelhouse, N., Pocknell, A., Borel, N., Peck, H. L., & Lawson, B. (2014). Psittacine beak and feather disease in a free-living ring-necked parakeet (Psittacula krameri) in Great Britain. European journal of wildlife research, 60(2), 395-398. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10344-013-0792-x

The ring-necked parakeet (RNP), Psittacula krameri, is an invasive species in Great Britain (GB) which is undergoing rapid population expansion in the wild. Although it has been suggested that RNPs could be a potential source of infectious disease, l...

Genome sequencing and comparative analysis of three Chlamydia pecorum strains associated with different pathogenic outcomes (2014)
Journal Article
Sait, M., Livingstone, M., Clark, E. M., Wheelhouse, N., Spalding, L., Markey, B., Magnino, S., Lainson, F. A., Myers, G. S. A., & Longbottom, D. (2014). Genome sequencing and comparative analysis of three Chlamydia pecorum strains associated with different pathogenic outcomes. BMC Genomics, 15, 23. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-15-23

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia pecorum is the causative agent of a number of acute diseases, but most often causes persistent, subclinical infection in ruminants, swine and birds. In this study, the genome sequences of three C. pecorum strains isolated from t...
