Influenza Virus—Controversy Over Modes of Transmission
Biosafety professionals have ever-expanding roles at their institutions. In this Beyond Traditional Biosafety column, we focus on topics that may fall outside the scope of the traditional biosafety role, but where the expertise of the biosafety professional may be called upon to provide a valuable contribution to his or her institution. Please e-mail any comments or suggestions to Ted Myatt, tm...

متن کاملAIDS virus envelope spike structure.
The envelope (Env) spikes on HIV-1 and closely related SIV define the viral tropism, mediate the fusion process and are the prime target of the humoral response. Despite intensive efforts, Env has been slow to reveal its structural and functional secrets. Three gp120 subunits comprise the 'head' of Env and three gp41 subunits comprise the 'stalk' and other membrane-associated elements. The rece...
متن کاملCowpox virus: What’s in a Name?
Traditionally, virus taxonomy relied on phenotypic properties; however, a sequence-based virus taxonomy has become essential since the recent requirement of a species to exhibit monophyly. The species Cowpox virus has failed to meet this requirement, necessitating a reexamination of this species. Here, we report the genomic sequences of nine Cowpox viruses and, by combining them with the availa...
