    • Conserved, breed-dependent, and subline-dependent innate immune responses of Fayoumi and Leghorn chicken embryos to Newcastle disease virus infection. 

      Schilling, Megan; Memari, Sahar; Cavanaugh, Meredith; Katani, Robab; Deist, Melissa; Radzio-Basu, Jessica; Lamont, Susan; Buza, Joram; Kapur, Vivek (Scientific Reports, 2019-05-10)
      Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a threat to the global poultry industry, but particularly for smallholder farmers in low- and middle-income countries. Previous reports suggest that some breeds of chickens are less susceptible ...

      Katani, Robab; Schilling, Megan; Lyimo, Beatus; Tonui, Triza; Cattadori, Isabella; Eblate, Ernest; Martin, Andimile; Estes, Anna; Buza, Teresia; Rentsch, Dennis; Davenpor, Karen; Hovde, Blake; Lyimo, Samson; Munuo, Lydia; Stomeo, Francesca; Tiambo, Christian; Radzio-Basu, Jessica; Mosha, Fausta; Hudson, Peter; Buza, Joram; Kapur, Vivek (Nature Publishing Group UK, 2019-12-02)
      Bushmeat, the meat and organs derived from wildlife species, is a common source of animal protein in the diets of those living in sub-Saharan Africa and is frequently associated with zoonotic spillover of dangerous pathogens. ...
    • Molecular species identification of bushmeat recovered from the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania. 

      Schilling, Megan; Estes, Anna; Eblate, Ernest; Martin, Andimile; Rentsch, Dennis; Katani, Robab; Joseph, Asteria; Kindoro, Fatuma; Lyimo, Beatus; Radzio-Basu, Jessica; Cattadori, Isabella; Hudson, Peter; Kapur, Vivek; Gwakisa, Paul; Buza, Joram (PLOS ONE, 2020-09-14)
      Bushmeat harvesting and consumption represents a potential risk for the spillover of endemic zoonotic pathogens, yet remains a common practice in many parts of the world. Given that the harvesting and selling of bushmeat ...
    • Transcriptional Innate Immune Response of the Developing Chicken Embryo to Newcastle Disease Virus Infection 

      Schilling, Megan; Katani, Robab; Memari, Sahar; Cavanaugh, Meredith; Buza, Joram; Radzio-Basu, Jessica; Mpenda, Fulgence; Deist, Melissa; Lamont, Susan; Kapur, Vivek (Frontiers in Genetics, 2018-02-27)
      Traditional approaches to assess the immune response of chickens to infection are through animal trials, which are expensive, require enhanced biosecurity, compromise welfare, and are frequently influenced by confounding ...
