Comparison of the Ability of High and Low Virulence Strains of noncytopathic Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus-1 to Modulate Expression of Interferon Tau Stimulated Genes in Bovine Endometrium (2021)
Journal Article
Cheng, Z., Wang, K., Thomas, C., Zhang, S., & Wathes, D. C. (2021). Comparison of the Ability of High and Low Virulence Strains of noncytopathic Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus-1 to Modulate Expression of Interferon Tau Stimulated Genes in Bovine Endometrium. Frontiers in Veterinary Science,

Bovine Viral Diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is a pestivirus with a single-stranded, positive sense RNA genome. It is endemic in many cattle populations, causing major economic losses in part due to reduced fertility. BVDV exhibits great genetic diversity an...

Mechanisms linking bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection with infertility in cattle (2019)
Journal Article
Oguejiofor, C. F., Thomas, C. J., Cheng, Z. R., & Wathes, D. C. (2019). Mechanisms linking bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection with infertility in cattle. Animal Health Research Reviews, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1466252319000057

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important infectious disease agent that causes significant reproductive and economic losses in the cattle industry worldwide. Although BVDV infection is known to cause poor fertility in cattle, a greater part... Read More about Mechanisms linking bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection with infertility in cattle.

Enhanced neutralising antibody response to bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) induced by DNA vaccination in calves (2015)
Journal Article
El-Attar, L. M. R., Thomas, C., Luke, J., Williams, J. A., & Brownlie, J. (2015). Enhanced neutralising antibody response to bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) induced by DNA vaccination in calves. Vaccine, 33(32), 4004-12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2015.06.017

DNA vaccination is effective in inducing potent immunity in mice; however it appears to be less so in large animals. Increasing the dose of DNA plasmid to activate innate immunity has been shown to improve DNA vaccine adaptive immunity. Retinoic acid...
