Real name:
I am studying virus-host interactions and the mechanisms of immunity in malignant catarrhal fever, a fatal disease of cattle and deer cause by gamma-herpesviruses. We have a successful attenuated vaccine which has recently been used in field trials in Tanzania and we are identifying specific antigens recognized in vaccinated cattle for development of subunit and recombinant vaccines.
