Punctuated evolution of influenza virus neuraminidase (A/H1N1) under migration and vaccination pressures [PDF]
Influenza virus contains two highly variable envelope glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). The structure and properties of HA, which is responsible for binding the virus to the cell that is being infected, change significantly when the virus is transmitted from avian or swine species to humans.

Anti-pig Antibodies in Swine Veterinarian Serum: Implications for Clinical Xenotransplantation [PDF]
Recent clinical xenotransplantation and human decedent studies demonstrate that clinical hyperacute rejection of genetically engineered porcine organs can be reliably avoided but that antibody mediated rejection continues to limit graft survival.

A NEW GENERAL CONCEPTUAL APPROACH TO MODELING THE LIVESTOCK SECTOR: AN APPLICATION TO THE JAPANESE SWINE-PORK SECTOR [PDF]
Many livestock sector models have limited coverage of relevant variables, and are somewhat ad hoc in their choice of what should be specified as behavioral equations. This study develops a generic conceptual approach to modeling the livestock sector that
