T lymphocyte responses to equid herpesviruses 1 and 4 in horses
This thesis describes the development, optimisation and use of assays to measure equine herpes virus-specific proliferative and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in the blood of horses. Equine T cell blast cells stimulated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with pokeweed mitogen …

Dental occlusal form and function in Equus capensis: evaluating a controvertible taxonomic status
… late Pleistocene. Described as a large-bodied equid, its skeletal remains were originally regarded as distinct and readily distinguishable from those of other fossil equids, especially with respect to their large size. This applied particularly to its cheek teeth, that were described as large …

The Middle Stone Age fauna from Olieboomspoort: an archaeozoological perspective
… of small bovids. The presence of the extinct equid Equus capensis is suspected. Two species of carnivores, aardwolf (Proteles cristata) and African wild cat (Felis silvestris) were also identified. The taphonomic signatures of the faunal assemblage are indicative of several biotic …

Staphylococcus spp. from animals intended for human consumption, animalderived food and humans in Spain and Senegal: genetic lineages, antibioresistance and virulence
… lineage ST1460, carried the genes encoding the equid-adapted leukocidin (LukPQ) and the blocker of equine complement system activation (eqSCIN). The second chapter focussed on staphylococci from common food-producing animals from two countries with different antibiotic use policy (calve, lamb, …

Quantifying Ungulate-Rangeland Interactions: From Monitoring Free-Roaming Horse Condition to Vegetation Response Following Herbivore Exclusion
Reliable assessment of herbivore condition and vegetation response is essential for understanding grazing impacts across arid rangelands. This thesis integrates two complementary studies that address these challenges at different scales. The first develops and validates a quantitative framework for …
