This division works on the important equine viral diseases, including equine infectious anemia, equine influenza, equine arteritis, and equine rhinopneumonitis. The research interests are on the pathogen-host interaction in the immune response to virus infection, the epidemiology, and vaccinology. Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV) and HIV-1 are members of lentivirus family and have been studied in this lab to understand the mechanism of interaction between innate immune system and virus infection. This division is an OIE reference laboratory for equine infectious anemia.
