Virus-like particles associated with the apostome ciliate Hyalophysa chattoni

Rotavirus-like, calicivirus-like, and 23-nm virus-like particles associated with diarrhea in young pigs.

Virus particles morphologically similar to caliciviruses and rotaviruses were detected by electron microscopy (EM) in the intestinal contents of a 27-day-old diarrheic nursing pig. A third small spherical 23-nm virus-like particle was also observed. Calicivirus-like particles averaged 33 nm in diameter. Similar to rotaviruses, rotavirus-like particles were present as single-capsid 55-nm forms o...

Avian lymphoid leukosis: Virus-like particles in kidney Cells

Virus-like particles as vaccine.

This review presents data on commercial and experimental virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines, including description of VLP vaccines against influenza. Virus-like particles are multimeric, sometimes multiprotein nanostructures assembled from viral structural proteins and are devoid of any genetic material. VLPs present repetitive high-density displays of viral surface proteins. Importantly, they ...

Virus-like particles associated with mortalities of the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum in England.

Mortalities of the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum (Adams & Reeve, 1850) were reported in southern England (Kent and Poole Harbour) during late spring of 2008. In response to these reported mortalities, samples were collected from 5 sites across the south coast of England. Clams were sampled for both histology and electron microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed unenvelo...

Characterization of virus - like particles associated with the human faecal and caecal 1 microbiota 2 3

24 This work represents an investigation into the presence, abundance and diversity of 25 virus-like particles (VLPs) associated with human faecal and caecal samples. Various 26 methodologies for the recovery of VLPs from faeces were tested and optimized, including 27 successful down-stream processing of such samples for the purpose of an in-depth electron 28 microscopic analysis, pulsed-field ...
