Abstract:
I am working on the phylogeny
of phleboviruses, reassortment of their tripartite genomes and
their pathogenecity. The most important Phlebovirus is Rift
Valley fever virus and there is an active program of human and
animal vaccine development for this agent using reverse genetics.
Ilya Frolov and I are developing alphavirus replicon vectored Rift
Valley fever vaccines for use in livestock and later humans.
