The purpose of this $250,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care (CFDA 10.025) program is for the University of Illinois to develop an enhanced capture probe sequencing method. This method will significantly improve the sensitivity of sequencing for detecting and characterizing viruses that cause aquatic and equine neurological diseases, including unculturable viruses and emerging variants that may be missed by conventional molecular testing. The goal is to enhance the capabilities of the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) for rapid detection and characterization of important animal diseases, as well as prepare for emerging and foreign animal disease threats.
