Bio
Hi! I’m Thomas. I love anything to do with cattle or technology, but especially anything to do with both of them. I spend way more time in beef country with beef cows, but I’ve got a soft spot for Brown Swiss dairy cows (just in case you couldn’t tell by the pictures). I’ve worn a lot of different hats:

Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) is a major cause of reproductive failure in cattle.
In bulls, penile papillomas caused by BPV may cause reluctance to breed, and is
always a cause to fail an animal on a breeding soundness exam. Historically, it
has been thought that BPV was transmitted via direct contact and could be
controlled by managing clinically presenting animals in the herd, but more
recent evidence suggests alternative modes of transmission. BPV has been found
repeatably in clinically healthy …
Viral populations within an infected host are composed of viral particles with a
spectrum of genetic mutations rather than a unified genome. This phenomenon is
referred to as viral “quasispecies,” and has been useful for the understanding
of viral transmission and early detection of new viral variants. Next generation
sequencing (NGS) has enabled the study of these quasispecies for many viral
species, notably Influenza A and B, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Foot and
Mouth …
