    Cul o 2 specific IgG3/5 antibodies predicted Culicoides hypersensitivity in a group imported Icelandic horses 
    Raza, Fahad; Ivanek, Renata; Freer, Heather; Reiche, Dania; Rose, Horst; Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Björnsdóttir, Sigríður; Wagner, Bettina (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-10)
    Background: Culicoides hypersensitivity (CH) is induced in horses by salivary allergens of Culicoides midges. In Iceland, the causal Culicoides species for CH are not present. Previous epidemiological data indicated that Icelandic horses are more ...

    The effect of maternal immunity on the equine gammaherpesvirus type 2 and 5 viral load and antibody response 
    Thorsteinsdottir, Lilja; Jónsdóttir, Sigríður; Stefánsdóttir, Sara Björk; Andrésdóttir, Valgerður; Wagner, Bettina; Marti, Eliane; Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Svansson, Vilhjálmur (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-06-21)
    Two types of gammaherpesviruses (γEHV) are known to infect horses, EHV-2 and EHV-5. Foals become infected early in life, probably via the upper respiratory tract, despite maternal antibodies. In this study, we analyzed samples from a herd of mares and ...

    First Report of Resistance to Ivermectin in Parascaris univalens in Iceland 
    Martin, Frida; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Eydal, Matthías; Oddsdóttir, Charlotta; Ernback, Maja; Persson, Isa; Tydén, Eva (2021-01-25)
    Horses in Iceland have been isolated for more than 1,000 yr but still harbor a similar range of gastrointestinal parasites as do horses across the world. The long isolation of the horses and their parasites presumably means that no resistance genes ...

    Genomic Dissection of an Icelandic Epidemic of Respiratory Disease in Horses and Associated Zoonotic Cases 
    Björnsdóttir, Sigríður; Harris, Simon R.; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Gunnarsson, Eggert; Sigurðardóttir, Ólöf G.; Gammeljord, Kristina; Steward, Karen F.; Newton, J. Richard; Robinson, Carl; Charbonneau, Amelia R. L.; Parkhill, Julian; Holden, Matthew T. G.; Waller, Andrew S. (American Society for Microbiology, 2017-08-01)
    Iceland is free of the major infectious diseases of horses. However, in 2010 an epidemic of respiratory disease of unknown cause spread through the country’s native horse population of 77,000. Microbiological investigations ruled out known viral agents ...

    Neonatal Immunization with a Single IL-4/Antigen Dose Induces Increased Antibody Responses after Challenge Infection with Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1) at Weanling Age 
    Wagner, Bettina; Perkins, Gillian; Babasyan, Susanna; Freer, Heather; Keggan, Alison; Goodman, Laura B.; Glaser, Amy; Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Björnsdóttir, Sigríður (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-01-03)
    Neonatal foals respond poorly to conventional vaccines. These vaccines typically target T-helper (Th) cell dependent B-cell activation. However, Th2-cell immunity is impaired in foals during the first three months of life. In contrast, neonatal basophils ...

    A prospective study on insect bite hypersensitivity in horses exported from Iceland into Switzerland 
    Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Scheidegger, Stephan; Baselgia, Silvia; Jónsdóttir, Sigríður; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Björnsdóttir, Sigríður; Marti, Eliane (Springer Nature, 2018-11-03)
    Background: Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is an IgE-mediated dermatitis caused by bites of Culicoides spp., which occurs frequently in horses imported from Iceland to continental Europe. IBH does not occur in Iceland because Culicoides species ...
