conclusions our findings indicate that patients with the homozygous cc genotype in the il28b gene had a significantly higher rate of response to treatment than those with the tt or ct genotypes. nor does the il28b rs12979860 polymorphism affect the viral load. results the genotype frequencies of rs12979860 polymorphism in group 1 were cc (28.9%), ct (37.8%) and tt (33.3%) and in group 2 were cc...

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the causal agents of viral diseases that infected mint (Mentha spp.). CMV is a member of the cucumovirus genus in  Bromoviridae family. The virus is naturally transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner.During  growing season 2007-2008, leaf samples from plants of mint fields with symptoms of viral disease were collected in mint fieldas in Tehran provi...

COVID-19 usually manifests by respiratory symptoms. However, it would be an erroneous simplification to consider as a local disease. The nervous system and intestines are often involved even in patients with mild infection, although the risk of dissemination infectious process development severe systemic disease is mainly associated lung damage. addition thrombotic microvasculitis (endothelitis...

Analysis of viral DNA from human remains suggests that the transatlantic slave trade may have introduced new pathogens contributed to devastating disease outbreaks in colonial Mexico.

Background: Acute Flaccid Paralysis or polio is a viral infectious disease that affects the motor neurons of central nervous system and can be prevented through vaccination.

Worldwide annually there are 1.7 million deaths from diarrheal diseases and 1.5 million deaths from respiratory infections (56). Viruses cause an estimated 60% of human infections, and most common illnesses are produced by respiratory and enteric viruses (7, 49). Unlike bacterial disease, viral illness cannot be resolved with the use of antibiotics. Prevention and management of viral disease he...
