Yellow Fever Vaccination: An Issue for Non-endemic Tropical Countries

Intraspeci®c Phenotypic Variability in the Black-eared Miner (manorina Melanotis); Human-facilitated Introgression and the Consequences for an Endangered Taxon

Prior to this study the circumscription of the endangered black-eared miner (Manorina melanotis) and the common yellow-throated miner (Manorina ¯avigula) has been clouded by the existence of hybrid individuals. We examined the intra-and inter-speci®c phenotypic variation of the two taxa. All available museum specimens (n=138) and a sample of live individuals (n=83) were examined. Cluster analys...

Flavitrack: an annotated database of flavivirus sequences

MOTIVATION Properly annotated sequence data for flaviviruses, which cause diseases, such as tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), dengue fever (DF), West Nile (WN) and yellow fever (YF), can aid in the design of antiviral drugs and vaccines to prevent their spread. Flavitrack was designed to help identify conserved sequence motifs, interpret mutational and structural data and track evolution of phenot...
