Methodology

  • Study Type: Review
  • Geographic Focus: Queensland and New South Wales, Australia

Topics

Epidemiology, Clinical, Virology

Relevance

The paper discusses the importance of vaccination for horses to prevent Hendra virus transmission to humans, and identifies knowledge gaps related to vaccine efficacy in foals.
