Potential of a sequence-based antigenic distance measure to indicate equine influenza vaccine strain efficacy (2013)
Journal Article
Daly, J. M., & Elton, D. (2013). Potential of a sequence-based antigenic distance measure to indicate equine influenza vaccine strain efficacy. Vaccine, 31(51), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2013.06.070

The calculation of pepitope values, a sequence-based measure of antigenic distance between strains, was developed for human influenza. The potential to apply the pepitope value to equine influenza vaccine strain selection was assessed. There was a ne...

The genetics of virus particle shape in equine influenza A virus (2013)
Journal Article
Elton, D., Bruce, E. A., Bryant, N., Wise, H. M., MacRae, S., Rash, A., …Digard, P. (2013). The genetics of virus particle shape in equine influenza A virus. Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, 7(s4), https://doi.org/10.1111/irv.12197

Background Many human strains of influenza A virus produce highly pleomorphic virus particles that at the extremes can be approximated as either spheres of around 100 nm diameter or filaments of similar cross-section but elongated to lengths of many...

What can mathematical models bring to the control of equine influenza? (2013)
Journal Article
Daly, J. M., Newton, J., Wood, J., & Park, A. (in press). What can mathematical models bring to the control of equine influenza?. Equine Veterinary Journal, 45(6), https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12104

Mathematical modelling of infectious disease is increasingly regarded as an important tool in the development of disease prevention and control measures. This article brings together key findings from various modelling studies conducted over the past... Read More about What can mathematical models bring to the control of equine influenza?.
