This document outlines the projects granted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 during 2015 with a primary purpose of translational and applied research - animal diseases and disorders.

The following projects were granted:

• bacterial carriage in the bovine nasopharynx (bovine, respiratory, disease, bacteria, virus)

• african swine fever virus: development of tools for control (african swine fever, pigs, vaccine, diagnosis, pathogenesis)

• defining bovine protective immune responses (foot-and-mouth disease, vaccines, transmission, persistence)

• IBDV pathogenesis and control (ibdv, pathogenesis, virulence, vaccine, immunoprophylaxis)

• infectious disease in pigs (pigs, infectious disease, vaccines, prevention, pathogenicity)

• sexual transmission of maedi visna from rams to ewes (lentivirus, sheep, sexual transmission)

• genetics of one-carbon metabolism in sheep in relation to productivity, fertility and health. (sheep, genetics, trace elements, health, epigenetics)

• mycotoxicosis in ruminants (dairy, mycotocin, silage)

• the use of therapeutic mRNA in companion animals (dogs, renal, anaemia, mrna)

• development of bacterial vaccines for poultry (vaccines, poultry)

• novel therapeutics for veterinary oncology

• supply of materials to develop and maintain tests for BSE in sheep animal (BSE, sheep, supply, positive, material)

• novel interventions for poultry red mite (poultry, vaccine, parasite)

• ecology and epidemiology of infectious disease in wildlife (wildlife, epidemiology, demography, management)

• understanding batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and ranavirus infection dynamics to develop mitigation strategies (amphibian, disease, conservation, mitigation)

• supply of materials to develop and maintain tests for animal diseases (transmissible, spongiform, encephalopathy, characterisation, endoparasite)
