Research Projects:

Review article - Equine viral arteritis (http://www.ivis.org/special_books/Lekeux/timoney/chapter_frm.asp?LA=1)

Molecular Virology Laboratory: 

The major focus of my laboratory is to definitively characterize the molecular epidemiology and pathogenesis of equine arteritis virus (EAV) infection of horses, and to develop improved recombinant vaccines to prevent infection of horses with this virus as well as improved tests to diagnose the infection.  An additional focus of my research is development of new diagnostic and vaccine technologies, definition of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of other important viral diseases of the horse, and the recognition of novel and emerging viral diseases of the horse.
