-
Typing of swine Mycoplasma field strains & look for measures that correlate with in vivo virulence
-
Study mechanisms of pathogenesis of M. hyopneumoniae
-
Perform -omic studies of porcine mycoplasmas
-
Investigate and develop better diagnostic tests for M. hyopneumoniae
-
Develop more efficient vaccines for M. hyopneumoniae that can be used in farms
-
Study porcine Mycoplasmas different from M. hyopneumoniae
