Coronavirus infection is a common disease in Swedish horses that causes fever, reduced general condition and diarrhea. We know very little about the spread of the disease and the virus in Sweden.

Project proposal:

  • Genetic characterization of the virus
  • Serological studies
  • Studies of stables with previous outbreaks: clinic, epidemiology, virology.

The thesis is carried out in collaboration with SVA.
