Publications

Our publication record reflects the different types of work undertaken within the consortium. Smaller case-based or strain-specific studies may include only those contributors directly involved, whereas larger projects are intended as consortium-wide outputs and will include all contributors, either through individual co-authorship or collective consortium authorship in line with journal requirements.
