Development of Plant-Based Vaccines for Prevention of Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease in Poultry (2022)
Journal Article

Viral diseases, including avian influenza (AI) and Newcastle disease (ND), are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in poultry, resulting in significant economic losses. Despite the availability of commercial vaccines for the major viral dis... Read More about Development of Plant-Based Vaccines for Prevention of Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease in Poultry.

Re‐parameterization of a mathematical model of African horse sickness virus using data from a systematic literature search (2022)
Journal Article

African horse sickness (AHS) is a vector-borne disease transmitted by Culicoides spp., endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. There have been many examples of historic and recent outbreaks in the Middle East, Asia and Europe. However, not much is known about...

Pentacyclic and hexacyclic cucurbitacins from Elaeocarpus petiolatus (2021)
Journal Article

Four undescribed cucurbitacins, designated as petiolaticins A–D, and four known cucurbitacins were isolated from the bark and leaves of Elaeocarpus petiolatus (Jack) Wall. Their chemical structures were elucidated based on detailed analyses of the NM... Read More about Pentacyclic and hexacyclic cucurbitacins from Elaeocarpus petiolatus.

Serological Cross-Reactions between Expressed VP2 Proteins from Different Bluetongue Virus Serotypes (2021)
Journal Article

Bluetongue (BT) is a severe and economically important disease of ruminants that is widely distributed around the world, caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV). More than 28 different BTV serotypes have been identified in serum neutralisation tests (SN...

A Scoping Review of West Nile Virus Seroprevalence Studies among African Equids (2021)
Journal Article

West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging and re-emerging zoonotic flavivirus first identified in and endemic to Africa. The virus is transmitted between birds by biting mosquitoes, with equids and humans being incidental hosts. The majority of infected i...

Retrospective serological survey for influenza in horses from Brazil (2020)
Journal Article

Equine influenza (EI) virus is one of the most economically important pathogens of respiratory diseases of horses worldwide. Despite availability of vaccines for control of EI, the highly contagious nature and variability properties of the virus mean...

Systematic review and meta?analysis of seroprevalence studies of West Nile virus in equids in Europe between 2001 and 2018 (2020)
Journal Article

There is some evidence that West Nile virus (WNV), which causes encephalomyelitis in equids, is an emerging disease in Europe. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the seroprevalence of West Nile vir...

Evaluation of a pseudotyped virus neutralisation test for measurement of equine influenza A virus neutralizing antibody responses induced by vaccination and infection (2020)
Journal Article

Equine influenza is a major respiratory disease of horses that is largely controlled by 24 vaccination in some equine populations. Virus-neutralizing antibodies, the mainstay of the protective 25 immune response, are problematic to assay for equine i...

Serosurvey of pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus in dogs in Andalusia (southern Spain) (2020)
Journal Article

In April 2009, a new influenza A virus (IAV) subtype (A(H1N1)pdm09) spread worldwide and triggered the first human influenza pandemic of the 21st century. Since then, exposure to the pandemic H1N1 IAV has been confirmed in different animal species. S...

Equine influenza vaccination as reported by horse owners and factors influencing their decision to vaccinate or not (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Equine influenza virus is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen that causes pyrexia, anorexia, lethargy and coughing in immunologically naïve horses. Vaccines against equine influenza are available and vaccination is 20 mandatory for...

Equine viral encephalitis: prevalence, impact, and management strategies (2019)
Journal Article

Members of several different virus families cause equine viral encephalitis, the majority of which are arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) with zoonotic potential. The clinical signs caused are rarely pathognomonic; therefore, a clinical diagnosis... Read More about Equine viral encephalitis: prevalence, impact, and management strategies.

Bluetongue virus outer-capsid protein VP2 expressed in Nicotiana Nicotiana benthamiana raises neutralising antibodies and a protective immune response in IFNAR -/- mice (2019)
Journal Article

Bluetongue is a severe, economically important disease of ruminants that is widely distributed in tropical and temperate regions around the world. It is associated with major production losses, restrictions of animal movements and trade, as well as c...
