  • The selection of a standard STR panel for DNA profiling of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in Kenya 
    Kinuthia, Julius; Harper, Cindy Kim; Muya, Shadrack; Kimwele, Charles; Alakonya, Amos; Muigai, Anne; Gakuya, Francis; Mwaniki, Mercy; Gatebe, Erastus (SpringerOpen Journal, 2015-06)
    The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) population in Kenya is declining at an alarming rate due to habitat destruction, human-elephant conflicts and the current escalation of poaching for ivory. This study established a ...
  • The sero-prevalence and sero-incidence of African horse sickness and equine encephalosis in selected horse and donkey populations in Zimbabwe 
    Gordon, Stuart J.G.; Bolwell, Charlotte; Rogers, Chris W.; Musuka, Godfrey; Kelly, Patrick; Guthrie, Alan John; Mellor, Philip S.; Hamblin, Christopher (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2017-05-10)
    Sentinel herds and samples submitted by private equine practitioners were used to determine the sero-prevalence and sero-incidence of African horse sickness virus (AHSV) and equine encephalosis virus (EEV) in horse and ...
  • Serological response of foals to polyvalent and monovalent live-attenuated African horse sickness virus vaccines 
    Crafford, Jan Ernst; Lourens, Carina W.; Smit, T.K.; Gardner, Ian A.; MacLachlan, N.J. (James); Guthrie, Alan John (Elsevier, 2014-06)
    African horse sickness (AHS) is typically a highly fatal disease in susceptible horses and vaccinationis currently used to prevent the occurrence of disease in endemic areas. Similarly, vaccination has beencentral to the ...
  • The seroprevalence of African horse sickness virus, and risk factors to exposure, in domestic dogs in Tshwane, South Africa 
    Hanekom, Josef; Lubisi, Baratang Alison; Leisewitz, Andrew L.; Guthrie, Alan John; Fosgate, Geoffrey Theodore (Elsevier, 2023-04)
    Dogs are the only non-equid species to develop the fatal form of African horse sickness (AHS). Research conducted in 2013 questioned the long-held belief that naturally occurring cases of AHS in dogs were contracted ...
  • A serosurvey of bluetongue and epizootic haemorrhagic disease in a convenience sample of sheep and cattle herds in Zimbabwe 
    Gordon, Stuart J.G.; Bolwell, Charlotte; Rogers, Chris W.; Musuka, Godfrey; Kelly, Patrick; Guthrie, Alan John; Mellor, Philip S.; Chris Hamblin (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2017-11-14)
    A convenience sample of sheep and cattle herds around the cities of Harare, Kwekwe and Bulawayo, located in the Highveld region of Zimbabwe, was used to estimate the seroprevalence and sero-incidence of bluetongue virus ...
  • Single base-pair deletion in ASIP exon 3 associated with recessive black phenotype in impala (Aepyceros melampus) 
    Miller, Susan M.; Guthrie, Alan John; Harper, Cindy Kim (Wiley, 2016-08)

  • Specifying and sustaining pigmentation patterns in domestic and wild cats 
    Kaelin, Christopher B.; Xu, Xiao; Hong, Lewis Z.; David, Victor A.; McGowan, Kelly A.; Schmidt-Küntzel, Anne; Roelke, Melody E.; Pino, Javier; Pontius, Joan; Cooper, Gregory M.; Manuel, Hermogenes; Swanson, William F.; Marker, Laurie; Harper, Cindy Kim; Van Dyk, Ann; Yue, Bisong; Mullikin, James C.; Warren, Wesley C.; Eizirik, Eduardo; Kos, Lidia; O’Brien, Stephen J.; Barsh, Gregory S.; Menotti-Raymond, Marilyn (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2012-09)
    Color markings among felid species display both a remarkable diversity and a common underlying periodicity. A similar range of patterns within domestic cats suggests a conserved mechanism whose appearance can be altered ...
  • The tiger genome and comparative analysis with lion and snow leopard genomes 
    Cho, Yun Sung; Hu, Li; Hou, Haolong; Lee, Hang; Xu, Jiaohui; Kwon, Soowhan; Oh, Sukhun; Kim, Hak-Min; Jho, Sungwoong; Kim, Sangsoo; Shin, Young-Ah; Kim, Byung Chul; Kim, Hyunmin; Kim, Chang-uk; Luo, Shu-Jin; Johnson, Warren E.; Koepfli, Klaus-Peter; Schmidt-Küntzel, Anne; Turner, Jason A.; Marker, Laurie; Harper, Cindy Kim; Miller, Susan M.; Jacobs, Wilhelm; Bertola, Laura D.; Kim, Tae Hyung; Lee, Sunghoon; Zhou, Qian; Jung, Hyun-Ju; Xu, Xiao; Gadhvi, Priyvrat; Xu, Pengwei; Xiong, Yingqi; Luo, Yadan; Pan, Shengkai; Gou, Caiyun; Chu, Xiuhui; Zhang, Jilin; Liu, Sanyang; He, Jing; Chen, Ying; Yang, Linfeng; Yang, Yulan; He, Jiaju; Liu, Sha; Wang, Junyi; Kim, Chul Hong; Kwak, Hwanjong; Kim, Jong-Soo; Hwang, Seungwoo; Ko, Junsu; Kim, Chang-Bae; Kim, Sangtae; Bayarlkhagva, Damdin; Paek, Woon Kee; Kim, Seong-Jin; O’Brien, Stephen J.; Wang, Jun; Bhak, Jong (Nature Publishing Group, 2013-09)
