Incidence of Subclinical Mastitis and Prevalence of Major Mastitis Pathogens in Organized Farms and Unorganized Sectors
Subclinical mastitis (SCM) represents a major proportion of the burden of mastitis. Determining somatic cell count (SCC) and electrical conductivity (EC) of milk are useful approaches to detect SCM. In order t...

Evidence of bluetongue virus serotype 21 (BTV-21) divergence
Bluetongue virus serotype 21 (BTV-21) was originally isolated from Australia, but has now been reported from India, Indonesia, China and Japan. We report the isolation, and sequencing of BTV-21 from India. The...

Genetic characterization of bluetongue virus serotype 9 isolates from India
Recent incursions of bluetongue virus (BTV) into previously naive geographical areas have emphasised the need to better understand virus movement and epidemiology. Several bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes are ...

The Use of Bovine MHC Class I Allele-Specific Peptide Motifs and Proteolytic Cleavage Specificities for the Prediction of Potential Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Epitopes of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus
Cell mediated immunity (CMI) is crucial for the defense against viruses. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a major role in CMI. They recognize endogenous antigenic peptides presented by antigen presenting ce...

Prediction of potential cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes of bovine herpesvirus 1 based on allele-specific peptide motifs and proteolytic cleavage specificities
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules present endogenous peptides to cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CLTs). Elucidation of CTL epitopes of intracellular pathogens helps in designing better vaccines...
