Researchers will aim to improve diagnostic testing to control bovine tuberculosis in African wildlife.

Using cultured cells, researchers will study how the horse's immune system responds to endotoxins, toxic substances in bacteria responsible for many horse diseases, including gastrointestinal disease and foal sepsis.

Researchers will investigate how to improve diagnosis and treatment of equine insect bite hypersensitivity, one of the most common allergic skin diseases in horses.

Researchers will evaluate the efficacy of a vaccine for visceral leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease, in United States foxhounds.

Researchers will characterize key elephant immune responses to infection by the elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus, a virus that causes a devastating hemorrhagic disease in young calves.

Researchers will investigate how immune response cells, called dendritic cells, function and the role they play in the development of life-threatening bacterial infections in foals.
