Laue diffraction studies of human rhinovirus 14 and canine parvovirus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laue diffraction data have been collected from monoclinic crystals of canine parvovirus (CPV), and from cubic crystals of human rhinovirus 14 (HRV14) with and without bound antiviral compounds. In optimal conditions one or two images of HRV14 were sufficient to calculate interpretable electron-density maps of the virus complexes at 3.5 A resolution. The crystals of CPV were of lower symmetry and were more easily damaged by radiation, making it difficult to accumulate a significant amount of useful data. Results on HRV14 are compared in studies on four antiviral compounds where data were collected using both monochromatic and Laue diffraction. Two Laue diffraction images of HRV14 with a point mutation were sufficient to determine the change from a leucine to a valine in VP2.

This study was performed to determine the prevalence of Canine parvovirus (CPV) in dogs referred to Veterinary Hospital of Ahvaz, Khouzestan province, Iran. Fecal samples were collected from 78 diarrheic dogs between 2005 and 2007. The dogs were divided into two age groups (< 6 months and > 6 months), four different breeds (Terriers, Germanshepherds, Doberman pinschers and Mixed) and another ...
متن کاملDetection of a new canine parvovirus mutant in Iran
BACKGROUND: Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is one of the major causes of fatal gastroenteritis in young dogs. After emergence of CPV-2, two new variants were reported and named CPV-2a and CPV-2b. In 2001 the newest variant was reported and named CPV-2c. The difference between CPV strains is related to amino acid changes in viral capsid protein (VP2). OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was geneti...

BACKGROUND: Canine parvovirus (CPV) infection is one ofthe most common causes of infectious gastroenteritis in dogs andis a highly contagious, often fatal disease. The original virus(CPV type 2) has had some mutations since its emergence andnew variants (CPV-2a, 2b and 2c) have been reported from manycountries all around the world. Early diagnosis and treatment canprofoundly affect the disease ...
