About

The Animal and Plant Health Agency awarded a contract to the University of Surrey for a PhD studentship investigating the role of sheep and goats in pestiviruses in the UK and transmission between different animal host species in a multispecies grazing farm system.

The research addresses newly emerged pestivirus species that have been introduced into cattle, pigs, and wild ruminant populations, associated with abortion, stillbirth, and health problems in offspring, and which challenge prevention and control strategies in the swine and cattle industry.

The contract value is £37,200.
