Sidekli O, Hollox E, Fair S, Meade K
PLoS One . 2025 Feb; 20(2):e0319281. PMID: 39999087
Pregnancy rates for elite bulls used in artificial insemination (AI) can vary significantly and therefore the identification of molecular markers for fertility and targets to improve bull selection is important....

Parveen A, Bhat S, Elnaggar M, Meade K
PLoS One . 2024 Dec; 19(12):e0311854. PMID: 39666627
Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) causes bovine tuberculosis (bTB). The challenges in controlling and eradicating this zoonotic disease are compounded by our incomplete understanding of the host immune response. In this...

Lee R, Meade K, Rhodes S, Ford T, Kyriazakis I
JDS Commun . 2024 Dec; 5(6):622-627. PMID: 39650013
Investigations into the role of vitamin D (vitD) in the immune response of cattle are limited. The objectives of this study were therefore to investigate the association between circulating vitD...

Reid C, Donlon J, Remot A, Kennedy E, De Matteis G, OFarrelly C, et al.
PLoS One . 2024 Nov; 19(11):e0309964. PMID: 39541407
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a leading cause of mortality and compromised welfare in bovines. It is a polymicrobial syndrome resulting from a complex interplay of viral and bacterial pathogens...

McHugo G, Ward J, Nganga S, Frantz L, Salter-Townshend M, Hill E, et al.
Heredity (Edinb) . 2024 Nov; 134(1):49-63. PMID: 39516247
Bos taurus (taurine) and Bos indicus (indicine) cattle diverged at least 150,000 years ago and, since that time, substantial genomic differences have evolved between the two lineages. During the last...

Sidekli O, Oketch J, Fair S, Meade K, Hollox E
R Soc Open Sci . 2024 Oct; 11(10):241154. PMID: 39479249
β-Defensins are peptides with antimicrobial roles, characterized by a conserved tertiary structure. Beyond antimicrobial functions, they exhibit diverse roles in both the immune response and fertility, including involvement in sperm...

Bhat S, Parveen A, Gormley E, Meade K
BMC Genomics . 2024 Aug; 25(1):762. PMID: 39107682
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), represents a significant problem for the agriculture industry as well as posing a risk for human health. Current diagnostic tests for...

Sci Rep . 2023 Jul; 13(1):10846. PMID: 37407588
Vitamin D deficiency at birth, followed by prolonged insufficiency in early life may predispose bovine calves to infection and disease. However, the effects of vitamin D levels on innate immunity...
