Journal Article
Maan, S., Belaganahalli, M. N., Maan, N. S., Potgieter, A. C., & Mertens, P. P. C. (2019). Quantitative RT-PCR assays for identification and typing of the Equine encephalosis virus. Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 50(1), 287-296. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42770-018-0034-1

© 2018, Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia. Equine encephalosis (EE) is an acute, arthropod-borne, noncontagious, febrile disease of equids. The clinical signs of EE are similar to milder forms of African horse sickness (AHS) and the two diseases...

Comparative neuropathology of major Indian Bluetongue virus serotypes in a neonatal BALB/c mouse model (2018)
Journal Article
Anjaneya, A., Singh, K., Cherian, S., Saminathan, M., Singh, R., Ramakrishnan, M., …Mertens, P. (2018). Comparative neuropathology of major Indian Bluetongue virus serotypes in a neonatal BALB/c mouse model. Journal of Comparative Pathology, 162, 18-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcpa.2018.06.001

Bluetongue virus (BTV) is neurotropic in nature, especially in ruminant fetuses and in-utero infection results in abortion and congenital brain malformations. The aim of the present study was to compare the neuropathogenicity of major Indian BTV sero...

Journal Article
Calvo-Pinilla, E., Gubbins, S., Mertens, P. P., Ortego, J., & Castillo-Olivares, J. (2018). The immunogenicity of recombinant vaccines based on modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) viruses expressing African horse sickness virus VP2 antigens depends on the levels of expressed VP2 protein delivered to the host.

African horse sickness (AHS) is a lethal equine disease transmitted by Culicoides biting midges and caused by African horse sickness virus (AHSV). AHS is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, but devastating outbreaks have been recorded periodically outside...
