Study on control of plant virus diseases by vaccination with attenuated virus

Vaccination with attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus by DNA inoculation.

Delivering attenuated lentivirus vaccines as proviral DNA would be simple and inexpensive. Inoculation of macaques with wild-type simian immunodeficiency virus strain mac239 (SIV(mac239)) DNA or SIV(mac239) DNA containing a single deletion in the 3' nef-long terminal repeat overlap region (nef/LTR) led to sustained SIV infections and AIDS. Injection of SIV(mac239) DNA containing identical delet...

Smallpox vaccination of eczema patients with attenuated live vaccinia virus.

Friends of Grover Powers. The late Daniel Darrow, a long-time and dis. tinguished member of your faculty, in 1946, on dedicating his first 76 sci. entific papers in a bound volume to Grover Powers, inscribed it as follows: "To Grover F. Powers, whose faith in people made this work possible." Faith in people is perhaps the best way to characterize Grover Powers' basic attitude in life and this f...

Simultaneous Detection of Arabis Mosaic Virus, Cherry Leafroll Virus and Cucumber Mosaic Virus with Coamplification of Plant mRNA as Internal Control for Olive Certification Programs

Background and Aims: Certification programs of plant propagating materials rely on faster, cheaper and more importantly sensitive and reliable methods for detection of systemic pathogens as indicated in national and/or international health standards of plant propagating materials. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has been documented as an alternative assay for certific...

Development of an Attenuated Live Virus Vaccine against Sheep Pox

Covid-19 Vaccination and Reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus

Introduction: After COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 that mostly affects upper respiratory tract, the scientists investigated an effective vaccine against the virus. As the vaccination of general population started some patients were visited with varicella zoster virus activation following the COVID vaccine.
