P34 is an antimicrobial peptide produced by a Bacillus sp. strain isolated from the intestinal contents of a fish in the Brazilian Amazon basin with reported antibacterial activity. The aim of this work was to evaluate the peptide P34 for its in vitro antiviral properties against canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), canine coronavirus (CCoV), canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus type 2 ...

Multiple cell lines permissive to nervous necrosis virus (NNV) infection may be necessary for identifying receptor binding sites of viral surface protrusions. ​We have established new lines, SeGE-12, SeGE-22, SeGF and SeGB, derived from eyed-egg embryos, fin brain sevenband grouper. ​The optimum growth temperatures these were all around 30°C. temperature range SeGE-12 SeGE-22 was 25°C–32°C, whe...

Investigation on the brain-tropism was carried out through direct injection of virus into vitreous body eye using five marine fish species: kelp grouper, striped jack, Japanese flounder, threeline grunt and yellow tail. When brains intravitreously-injected (106 TCID50 Fish-1) were examined at 72 h post infection, jack nervous necrosis (SJNNV; type species genus Betanodavirus) frequently detecte...

in this study a nested-pcr assay was optimized for detection of two bvdv biotype of nadl strain. a part of 5' non-coding region of virus, 249 bp in size, was amplified in rt-pcr. pcr product was cloned in a ptz57r/t vector and sequencing results confirmed the specificity of the test. internal primers were designed and a 155 bp dna fragment was amplified in nested-pcr. the sensitivity of rt...

munication, we investigated its effect on humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and replication. The experiment analyzing effects on primarily infection was performed as follows. H9 cells4) were pretreated with serially diluted eulicin at 37°C for 60 minutes and infected with HIV-1 IIIB at 2x 103 TCID50. The cells were incubated for an additional 60 minutes to permit adsorption of viral p...

The culture supernatants of the emerging Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) were submitted to three temperatures over time and tested for infectivity by TCID50 method on Vero E6 cells. At 56°C, almost 25 minutes were necessary to reduce the initial titre by 4 log10 . Increasing temperature to 65°C had a strong negative effect on viral infectivity as virucidy dropped signifi...

The in vivo importance of class I MHC regulation of the Tc response to a natural pathogenic agent of high virulence was studied on the basis of our previous demonstration of a major difference in the capacity to generate a Sendai virus-specific Tc response between C57BL/6 (B6, H-2b) mice and H-2Kb mutant B6.C-H-2bm1 (bm 1) mice. These two mouse strains differ from each other only in three amino...

As production of in vitro (IVP) bovine embryos steadily increases, the sanitary risk associated with IVP embryos remains a concern. One of the greatest concerns is how BVDV may be transmitted through IVP embryos. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects caused by BVDV-1, BVDV-2 and Hobi-like virus exposure during in vitro maturation on embryo development and viral infection. Abit...

BACKGROUND Influenza virus is a major health concern that has huge impacts on the human society, and vaccination remains as one of the most effective ways to mitigate this disease. Comparing the two types of commercially available Influenza vaccine, the live attenuated virus vaccine is more cross-reactive and easier to administer than the traditional inactivated vaccines. One promising live att...
