Our new paper is out! MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research @IBAHCM @iiiglasgow UofG MVLS University of Glasgow at PNASNews. Find out how #flu may explain why #colds are less common in winter. Plus more on virus-virus interactions! Pablo Murcia (he/him) pnas.org/content/early/…

Check out our new paper where we describe the first co-infection of Theileria equi & T. haneyi-like clades in a natural equine population @IBAHCM University of Glasgow Alexandra G. Raftery with thanks to our funders Horserace Betting Levy Board The Donkey Sanctuary doi.org/10.1111/tbed.1…

An excellent & comprehensive review of the extensive range of arthropod-borne pathogens that threaten UK animal and public health! frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Our virus-virus directionality hypothesis #flu protects against #colds was independently supported in longitudinal patient cohort study MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research @IBAHCM Pablo Murcia (he/him) Medical Research Council pnas.org/content/early/…

As a horse owner & rider, as well as an epidemiologist, these are deeply troubling times. Many animals require daily care and #veterinary assistance. #COVID19 response must consider vets and vet nurses as #keyworkers. We must protect #AnimalWelfare #exercise #mentalwellbeing

The AHT faces imminent closure - an unexpected victim of COVID 19. To be hoped this illustrious institution can be saved aht.org.uk/news/statement…

More research towards improving the lives of working equids through increasing our understanding of blood-borne parasites

Important coronavirus research hot of the press from my colleagues at MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research UofG MVLS

Very happy to share these results, now out on Nature Communications: the characterization of a #microsporidian in An. arabiensis from Kenya, with decreased #Plasmodium transmission capacity. Thanks to Jeremy Herren for involving me in this great project! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Great work from my visiting student analysing the phylogenetic diversity of Theileria equi in Spanish horses - good job Eli! eliazar camino Looking forward to future Scottish-Spanish collaborations @IBAHCM UofG MVLS VISAVET-UCM authors.elsevier.com/c/1bUgl_,4HHsw…

Just published - the results from our investigation into the presence of equine piroplasmosis among horses and donkeys resident in Ireland, in collaboration with the IEC Irish Equine Centre and funded by the HBLB Horserace Betting Levy Board. @IBAHCM Glasgow Equine Hospital & Practice Vet Record veterinaryrecord.bmj.com/cgi/content/fu…

The COVID-19 lockdown has resulted in an increasing number of #stray, feral and owned #cats giving birth this year, according to Mayhew 🐶🐱. vettimes.co.uk/news/charity-c…

🆕We are opening The Glasgow Equine Hospital🐴- a new, fully mobile, first opinion equine practice, based at University of Glasgow’s The Weipers Centre. It will serve horse owners around the northern side of Glasgow & is led by vets James Risk and Nick Graham🐴🐎 ➡️ow.ly/zWRQ30raYXE

#SARS_CoV_2 /#flu interactions – I’m asked about this a lot. A recent preprint logically concludes potential for a negative interaction but with increased risk of severe disease/death in those coinfected: doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…. My thoughts.. it’s complicated.. 1/8

Very interesting report for England. Rise in ONLY rhinovirus positivity. #flu comparison would be useful. Why RV sooo different? Presumably more transmissible: lower infectious dose/different transmission modes? environment stability? high serotype variation/pop susceptibility..?

"A dog is a luxury, not an entitlement" - a sentiment I have reiterated many times

Our latest publication is a risk assessment of equine piroplasmosis in the UK - now online at EVJ BEVA Journals! Thanks to collaborators Prof Lisa Boden & David Sutton Glasgow Equine Hospital & Practice and funders HBLB Horserace Betting Levy Board beva.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev…

Our latest T. equi diversity paper based on the work by our summer vet student Martine McCann - well done Martine! @UofG_SBOHVM doi.org/10.1186/s13071…
