1. Intracerebral transfer in chicks of fowl pox virus produces marked changes in its behavior when studied in the chorio-allantoic membrane of chick embryos and in the skin of baby chicks. 2. A great and persistent increase in virulence for epithelial cells, characterized by rapid necrosis instead of proliferation and hyperplasia, is acquired by the virus propagated intracerebrally. 3. An affin...

Abstract Sheep pox is a highly contagious infectious viral disease (F/Poxviridae, G/ Capripoxvirus ), still causing economic damage in endemic zones like northern Africa, the Middle East, and many regions Asia. Nevertheless, clinical symptoms caused by sheep virus (SPPV) similar to those genetically related viruses, notably goat (GTPV) lumpy skin (LSDV). One of main objectives current study cha...

Proline is a readily released stress substrate that can bemetabolized by proline oxidase (POX) to generate either reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce apoptosis or autophagy or ATP during times of nutrient stress. However, the contribution of prolinemetabolism to tumorigenesis in hypoxicmicroenvironments has not been explored. In this study, we investigated the different functions of POX und...

Varicella results from a primary infection with the varicella virus while herpes zoster is caused by a reactivation of a latent infection. Dissemination of herpes zoster is uncommon in immunocompetent individuals. Reports of disseminated herpes zoster in children are even less common than in adults. An unusual case of disseminated herpes zoster ophthalmicus in an 8-year old immunocompetent blac...

The present study describes clinical, virological, histopathological, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic findings of pox infection encountered in a quail flock. Lesions consisted of single or multiple nodules with a crust in variable size of gray to yellow or dark brown discoloration on the comb, eyelids, and the other poorly feathered areas of the body. Histopathological changes cons...

Agents not discussed are the following: rotavirus infections under natural conditions they usually do not cause diarrhea and piglets become disease resistant early in life; vesicular exanthema not present in Europe; adenovirus infectionsthey are mostly isolated from piglets without clinical symptoms; inclusion body rhinitis (cytomegalovirus) usually only described outside Europe without relevan...

Epidemiological studies showed that high levels of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDLs) are associated with increased cancer risk. We examined the direct effect of physiologic concentrations oxLDL on cancer cells. OxLDLs were cytotoxic and activate both apoptosis and autophagy. OxLDLs have ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and upregulated proline oxidase (POX) t...

Rinderpest is a serious contagious disease of cattle, Asian buffalo, yak and many other herbivores both domesticated and wild, including swine, African buffalo, giraffe and lesser kudu. Rinderpest is caused by a virus which is related closely to that of human measles, canine distemper, peste des petits ruminants and other viruses in the morbillivirus subgroup of the paramyxoviruses. Rinderpest,...

plum pox virus (ppv), the causal agent of sharka disease, belongs to the genus potyvirus in the family potyviridae and has been reported from some regions of iran. surveys were conducted to determine the incidence of the virus in khorasan razavi province in 2010 and 2011 and 553 samples of stone fruit trees were collected and tested by das-elisa. in this method 12 samples were infected with ppv...
