  • Rapid growth rates of lion (Panthera leo) populations in small, fenced reserves in South Africa : a management dilemma 
    Miller, Susan M.; Funston, Paul J.; San, E. Do Linh (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2014-04)
    Managers of reintroduced lion (Panthera leo) populations in small reserves (<1000 km2) in South Africa are challenged by high rates of population increase and how best to control them.We combined data from 14 small, ...
  • Re-emergence of bluetongue, African horse sickness, and other orbivirus diseases 
    MacLachlan, N.J. (James); Guthrie, Alan John (INRA / EDP Sciences, 2010-01)
    Arthropod-transmitted viruses (Arboviruses) are important causes of disease in humans and animals, and it is proposed that climate change will increase the distribution and severity of arboviral diseases. Orbiviruses are ...
  • Re-emergence of the apicomplexan Theileria equi in the United States : elimination of persistent infection and transmission risk 
    Ueti, Massaro W.; Mealey, Robert H.; Kappmeyer, Lowell S.; White, Stephen N.; Kumpula-McWhirter, Nancy; Pelzel, Angela M.; Grause, Juanita F.; Bunn, Thomas O.; Schwartz, Andy; Traub-Dargatz, Josie L.; Hendrickson, Amy; Espy, Benjamin; Guthrie, Alan John; Fowler, W. Kent; Knowles, Donald P. (Public Library of Science, 2012-09-06)
    Arthropod-borne apicomplexan pathogens that cause asymptomatic persistent infections present a significant challenge due to their life-long transmission potential. Although anti-microbials have been used to ameliorate ...
  • Reversibility of the effects of GnRH-vaccination used to suppress reproductive function in mares 
    Schulman, M.L. (Martin); Botha, A.E.; Muenscher, Stefanie B.; Annandale, Cornelius Henry; Guthrie, Alan John; Bertschinger, Hendrik Jan (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-01)
    Reasons for performing study: Active immunisation against gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) provides a reversible method for control of oestrous behaviour and fertility in mares. Previous reports failed to demonstrate ...
  • 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 ...
