Ecological and taxonomic variation among human RNA viruses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Only a minority of RNA viruses that can infect humans are capable of spreading in human populations independently of a zoonotic reservoir. This is especially true of vector-borne RNA viruses; the majority of these are not transmissible (via the vector) between humans at all. Understanding the biology underlying this observation will help us evaluate the public health risk associated with novel vector-borne RNA viruses.

Evolutionary relationships among orbiviruses
The genus Orbivirus consists of 12 defined serological groups of arthropod-borne viruses. The taxonomic group was formed following the demonstration that the genome of bluetongue virus consisted of 10 segments of double-stranded RNA. Viruses with morphology and physico-chemical proper ties similar to those of bluetongue virus were included in the genus. As viruses representative of each serogr...
متن کاملHuman Virome
Viruses are dominant entities in the biosphere and parasitize all cellular life forms. The relative abundances of different classes of viruses are dramatically different between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In marine, soil and animal-associated environments, virus particles consistently outnumber cells by one to two orders of magnitude. It is estimated that 10 quintillion (1030) viral particles ...
متن کاملP-74: Variation in the Expression of TLR3 in Ectopic Pregnancy
Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) form the major family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which are involved in the innate immunity. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. In human, 10 members of this family have been identified so far. Among these TLRs, TLR3, 7, 8 and 9 designed to recognize nucleic acids and expresse...

متن کاملMicromorphological study on the seeds of wild species of Pyrus (Rosaceae) in Iran and their taxonomic implication
The seed micromorphological characters of 15 taxa of Iranian Pyrus comprising 22 individuals were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Digital Microscopy (DM) for the first time in this survey. For the assessment of probable ecological effects, several individuals of some widespread species were studied. After collecting several samples of each wild taxa of Pyrus from different lo...
