Diversity and role of cave-dwelling hematophagous insects in pathogen transmission in the Afrotropical region.

abstract：:Lentiviruses harbour high genetic variability for efficient evasion from host immunity. An attenuated equine infectious anaemia (EIA) vaccine was developed decades ago in China and presented remarkably robust protection against EIA. The vaccine was recently proven to have high genomic diversity, particular in env. How...
