Efficacy of NPV (Nucleopolyhedrosis virus) against C.partellus in Maize crop

Discovering microRNAs from Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrosis virus.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key players in host-pathogen interaction. Recently, many virus-encoded miRNAs have been identified from different mammalian species. However, the large family of invertebrate viruses of Baculoviridae, which infects diverse species of beneficial insects and agriculture pests, has hardly been investigated for elucidating the role of miRNAs in host-pathogen inter...

Efficacy of Four Disinfectants Against Hepatitis B Virus

Background and Aim: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an important infectious agent in denti-stry necessitating the use of disinfectants to prevent its transmission. This study compared the efficacy of 2/100 sodium hypochlorite disinfectants prepared from 5% solution manufactured by four different manufacturers namely Ashimashi, Paknaz, Vitex and Active for disinfection of surfaces infected with HBV. ...

Temporal transcription program of recombinant Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrosis virus.

Baculoviruses, a family of large, rod-shaped viruses that mainly infect lepidopteran insects, have been widely used to transduce various cells for exogenous gene expression. Nonetheless, how a virus controls its transcription program in cells is poorly understood. With a custom-made baculovirus DNA microarray, we investigated the recombinant Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrosis vi...

Autonomous Navigation in Maize Crop Fields

Scope The autonomous navigation in agricultural environments allows also to carry out autonomous operations of special interest in agriculture environments. The goal of an autonomous navigation is to cover all the required areas where the operation has to be made. We take into account different navigation strategies using proper sensors being also able to detect references which makes possible ...
