OverviewAI-generated summary
GF Erf studies immune responses and inflammation in poultry, with a focus on factors influencing these processes. Recent work investigates the time course of dermal leukocyte responses to lipoteichoic acid in chickens and the infiltration of mononuclear cells in spontaneously developing autoimmune thyroiditis in specific chicken strains. Research also examines the effects of dietary supplements, such as Spirulina platensis, and environmental stressors like cyclic heat stress on white blood cell profiles in broilers. The researcher has also characterized leukocyte infiltration at injection sites in chickens prone to scleroderma. Erf's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 16, with 28 total publications and 1,256 total citations. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Alessandro J. Rocchi, Heather Glenn, Katee Johnson, and Katelyn Clark.
