Journal Article
Mooney, R., Giammarini, E., Corbett, E., Thomson, S., McKinley, K., Sinisterra Sebastian, P., Rodgers, K., O’Donnell, J., McGinness, C., Roberts, C. W., Ramaesh, K., & Henriquez, F. L. (2024). Sodium Metabisulfite Inhibits Acanthamoeba Trophozoite Growth through Thiamine Depletion. Pathogens, 13(6), Article 431. https://doi.org/10.3390/pathogens13060431

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe infection of the cornea. Prevention and treatment are difficult due to the inefficacy of currently available compounds. The impact of many commonly used compounds for routine examinations of Acanthamoeba is une...

The toxicity of potentially toxic elements (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Ni) to the cnidarian Hydra attenuata at environmentally relevant concentrations (2019)
Journal Article
McKinley, K., McLellan, I., Gagné, F., & Quinn, B. (2019). The toxicity of potentially toxic elements (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Ni) to the cnidarian Hydra attenuata at environmentally relevant concentrations. Science of the Total Environment, 665, 848-854. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.02.193

The domestic, agricultural, industrial, technological and medical applications of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) have led to global pollution in all environments. In this study, the cnidarian Hydra attenuata was exposed individually and to a mixtu...
