Her expertise is in the diagnosis and pathogenesis of viral diseases of swine. Her research at SDSU started in 1990 where she worked on the initial characterization of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) Virus, performed C-sections for obtaining gnotobiotic pigs to confirm Koch’s postulates in identifying the cause of the disease and developed one of the first PCR based tests that was used in describing the pathogenesis and identification of PRRSV in boars and semen. Her current research involves the development of new diagnostic tests and evaluating the detection, epidemiology, pathogenesis and control of PRRSV, Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), influenza and other viral diseases of swine. She received her BS and MS degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a DVM from the University of Minnesota. She was in private veterinary practice for 6 years and conducted research studies during a post-doctoral position at SDSU.

Michael P Murtaugh
University of Minnesota, USA

麦克·莫特夫博士
美国明尼苏达大学

Dr. Murtaugh is a Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences. His research goal is to understand pig immune responses to infection; how immune responses are produced, mechanisms of protection, impact of variation in host and pathogen on efficacy of herd protection with a focus on important swine pathogens, especially PRRSV, PCV2 and PEDV. He was the director of the PRRS Coordinated Agricultural Project, the first USDA program project, from 2004 to 2008 and has lectured extensively on PRRS immunology, vaccinology, and diagnostics throughout the world. Recently his lab has initiated a similar program to elucidate the immunological interaction of swine with porcine circoviruses, and has contributed to annotation of immune response genes in the porcine genome. Dr. Murtaugh’s many contributions have been recognized through the CVM Pfizer Award for Research Excellence (four times) and the University of Minnesota Inventor Recognition Award in 2005, a University Innovations Award in 2011, and the Allen D. Leman Swine Conference Pijoan Lectureship in 2008. He received Distinguished Veterinary Immunologist Award, 2012, American Association of Immunologists and American Association of Veterinary Immunologists.
