Traditional and Modern Cell Culture in Virus Diagnosis

Traditional and Modern Cell Culture in Virus Diagnosis.

Cell cultures are developed from tissue samples and then disaggregated by mechanical, chemical, and enzymatic methods to extract cells suitable for isolation of viruses. With the recent advances in technology, cell culture is considered a gold standard for virus isolation. This paper reviews the evolution of cell culture methods and demonstrates why cell culture is a preferred method for identi...

Cell Culture and Virus

Canine distemper virus (CDV), a morbillivirus (Paramyxoviridae family) is the causative agent of a serious infection in dogs and other carnivores [2] and has been shown to be antigenically related to other members of the genus [13]. CDV infection in dogs generally is transmitted by inhalation of infectious aerosols. CDV causes acute generalized infection or chronic localized and persistent infe...

Comparison of traditional and modern dressings in healing surgical wounds

Up to two centuries ago patients were lucky to survive even minor surgical interventions without contracting life-endangering infections, and having to endure extreme distress. Such advances highlighted the importance of clean dressing and sterility. Lint, gauze and cotton rapidly replaced older types of dressings. Almost a century later another major advance occurred when Winter defined the ph...
