Research into zoonoses and emerging diseases to protect public health and animal health in Scotland

This project is focusing on understanding the risk of emerging vector-borne zoonoses that could affect human and animal health in Scotland and improving our understanding of the transmission of two bacteria which cause food-borne zoonoses in Scotland. Data generated in this project is informing control strategies and is providing mitigation which could break transmission chains, improve animal welfare and production, and save human life.

Role of transmission and pathogen components in virulence and disease pathogenesis for important endemic diseases of livestock in Scotland

Investigation of how pathogens responsible for key welfare and production-limiting diseases of Scottish livestock are transmitted to their host animal, determining the key pathogens that are important for infection and disease, and how they interact with the host immune system.

Ticks and zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in Scotland: evaluating risks for humans and livestock

This project is investigating the spread of tick-transmitted zoonotic pathogens to generate knowledge directly applicable to the management of green spaces and wildlife. In particular, we are assessing potential practical solutions to the increase in spread of vectors (ticks) and associated diseases.

Development and use of advanced in vitro culture systems to interrogate host-pathogen interactions in livestock species

This project develops a range of advanced laboratory-based systems to investigate how production- and welfare-limiting diseases of Scottish livestock establish infections in their hosts. Our work is underpining the development of novel vaccines and diagnostic tests by identifying the animal's response to disease and it’s initiation of protection as well as providing new methods for pathogen isolation and identification.

Gillian Mitchell

I am a research assistant, based at the Moredun Research Institute, providing technical support for the ongoing research towards the sustainable control of helminth parasites of livestock, with an emphasis on trematode (flatworm) parasites. I have experience with the application of molecular methods in novel diagnostics and the detection and management of anthelmintic resistance.

Dr Nuno Silva

In 2016, Nuno Silva joined the Moredun Research Institute to establish a research project focused on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in sheep. Since then, his work has expanded to include the transmission dynamics of mastitis pathogens and the impact and spread of AMR across wildlife, the environment, and farm animals, including AMR from a food safety perspective, aligning with a One Health approach.

Dr Bill Golde

The Golde lab’s current focus is development of vaccines for viral infections of livestock that induce a strong cellular immune response to compliment the anti-virus antibody response induced using present vaccine formulations. We use vaccine vectors derived from various viruses including adenovirus and vaccinia virus to redesign the vaccine payload to be delivered in a manner that induces the critical cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response. This response kills virus infected cells and arrests the spread of virus within the body and between animals.
