INTRODUCTION Simian parvovirus (SPV) causes severe anemia in immunocompromised macaques. The closely related erythrovirus, parvovirus B19, causes anemia in susceptible humans and can be grown in human bone marrow mononuclear cells in vitro. We hypothesized that SPV may infect humans and replicate in human bone marrow mononuclear cells. METHODS Serum samples from handlers of an SPV-seropositiv...

Over the last few decades, distributed systems have demonstrated architectural evolvement. One recent evolutionary step is Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The SOA model is perfectly engendered in Web services, which provide software platforms to build applications as services. Web services utilize supportive capabilities such as security, reliability, and monitoring. These capabilities are...
