DESCRIPTION:Humans share the highest number of viruses with pigs\, cattle 
 and horses. Furthermore\, humans and horses respond similarly to many vira
 l infections. This seminar will take a comparative virology approach to il
 lustrate generalisable lessons that can be learned from studies of equine 
 viral infections\, with a focus on equine influenza. This includes researc
 h on vaccines and the impact of antigenic drift on efficacy and effectiven
 ess\, which has been explored by mathematical modelling. The factors invol
 ved in interspecies transmission will also be examined in the context of t
 he influence of genetic drift of equine influenza on transmission to dogs.
  \n\nBio Sketch: \nJanet Daly is a Professor of Viral Zoonoses at the Univ
 ersity of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science where she h
 as worked since 2009. She also leads the cross-faculty ‘One Virology’ 
 group and is Director of the Wolfson Centre for Global Virus Research and 
 Head of the Division of Global Health. She has worked with influenza A vir
 uses for 35 years\, hopping back and forth between veterinary and human ap
 plications while working at the Animal Health Trust\, NIBSC and GSK. She a
 lso developed an interest in flaviviruses while at the University of Liver
 pool prior to joining Nottingham vet school. Her current interests remain 
 focussed on zoonotic RNA viruses\, but she also maintains a strong interes
 t in equine virology since her time at the Animal Health Trust.
