Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is an emerging picornavirus virus which typically causes respiratory disease. In 2014, a nationwide outbreak of EV-D68 occurred, with a portion of these cases associated with neurological disease. At the time of this outbreak, no animal models existed for Enterovirus D68, making it difficult to characterize pathology and test potential therapeutics. To address this, we developed a mouse model of EVd68 infection in AG-129 mice (immuno-compromised mice).

The Uintah Basin periodically experiences high ozone levels during the winter season (Lyman et al). Carbonyl compounds are produced from various emission sources and are precursors to ground level ozone production. Of these compounds, several aldehydes and ketones are volatile and listed as hazardous under the Clean Air Act (1990). We regularly measure carbonyl concentrations in air via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as part of our efforts to better understand and improve air quality in the Uintah Basin. For this project, we investigated possible improvements to our HPLC system to increase resolution, identification, and quantification of carbonyls in collected air …
