Empirical and model-based evidence for a negligible role of cattle in peste des petits ruminants virus transmission and eradication

Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is a multi-host pathogen with sheep and goats as main hosts. To investigate the role of cattle in the epidemiology of PPR, we simulated conditions similar to East African zero-grazing husbandry practices in a series of trials with…

Control of African horse sickness improved with rapid, reliable diagnostic test

Researchers at The Pirbright Institute have developed a field test for African horse sickness (AHS) that is reliable, fast and simple to use. African horse sickness (AHS) is a viral disease that infects all equine species and is often fatal in horses and mules. It has become…
