OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Rift Valley Fever virus (RVFV) is a clinically important zoonotic arbovirus, causing frequent epidemics in humans and ruminants in Sub-Saharan Africa. The main virulence factor of the virus is an interferon antagonist protein NSs. Our structural studies on NSs and its self-association provide new insight into its role in RVFV pathogenesis.
