Deletion of B125R increases protection induced by a genotype II African swine fever vaccine candidate.

A modified live attenuated African swine fever genotype II virus, GΔDKE-CmutQ96R/K108D, with deletions of three genes, DP148R, EP153R, and K145R and expressing a mutated CD2v protein with a non-haemadsorbing phenotype, was further modified by first removing two reporter gene…

Cross-protectivity of henipavirus soluble glycoprotein in an in vivo model of Nipah virus disease

Introduction: Nipah virus (NiV) is one of a group of highly pathogenic viruses classified within the Henipavirus genus. Since 2012 at least 11 new henipa-like viruses have been identified, including from new locations and reservoir hosts; the pathogenicity of these new…

The efficacy of vector-proof accommodation for the protection of livestock against Culicoides biting midges

Background Bluetongue virus serotype 3 emerged in northern Europe and the UK for the first time in 2023, causing significant losses of domestic ruminants. Vector-proof accommodation is considered a potential control measure to reduce host-vector contact, but this has not…
