RESEARCH. My main research activities can be summarised within four different areas:  Bovine Parainfluensa virus-3. PIV-3. During the seventies, I initiated and introduced to the Swedish Veterinary Medicine Community my work on Cell Mediated Immunity. (Several scientific publications in this field).  Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus: The isolation and characterisation of viral proteins were performed (Several scientific publications).  Papillomavirus: Under the eighties, I initiated and introduced for the first time to the Swedish Veterinary Medicine Community my work on gene technology. New papilloma viruses were discovered and characterised using DNA technology. In co-operation with scientist at the Uppsala University, a “papillomavirus research group” was built and several scientific publications and 10 PhD theses (I supervised two PhDs).  Porcine Paramyxovirus LPMV: In 1985 I isolated and characterised the first member of the paramyxovirdae family isolated from pigs. The virus was by me named as LPMV (La Piedad Michoacan Virus, now internatiuonal classified as Porcine Paramyxo Virus.). An intensive research was initiated. Several publications, two PhDs and one MSc theses in this field have been produced. Furthermore, during the seventies I have had the opportunity to isolate for the first time in Sweden rotavirus in pigs and cattle and other viruses of veterinary interest. The first serosurvey on Viruses during Outbreaks of Acute Respiratory and/or Enteric Disease in Swedish Cattle” was published in 1979. Finally several chapters in books and popular scientist articles in Swedish, English and Spanish have been published.
