Research
I am working on projects that investigate the immune response to the multivalent vaccine Strangvac in horses. I focus on antibody responses and their role in protection against Streptococcus equi subsp. equi.
I wish to improve our understanding of:
- how different vaccine components contribute to protection
- functional mechanisms and interactions between the bacteria and the host
- attitudes among horse owners and veterinarians about disease control and vaccinations
