Jembrana disease virus (JDV) is an acutely pathogenic lentivirus that affects Bali cattle in Indonesia. The inability to propagate the virus in vitro has made it difficult to quantitate JDV and determine the kinetics of virus replication during the acute phase of the disease process. We report for the first time two techniques that enable quantification of the virus and the use of these techniq...

The DNA of herpesvirus pan, a primate B-lymphotropic herpesvirus, shares about 40% well-conserved sequence relatedness with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and herpesvirus papio DNAs. Labeled cloned fragments from the EBV recombinant DNA library were cross hybridized to blots of EcoRI, XbaI, and BamHI restriction endonuclease fragments of herpesvirus pan DNA to identify and map homologous sequences in...

Growing Escherichia coli infected with bacteriophage T2 was x-rayed during the 21 minute latent period which elapses between infection and lysis of the cells. Survival curves of the infected bacteria were determined almost from minute to minute; they disclosed the following facts which are related to the process of phage growth: During the first 7 minutes, the infective virus particle remains i...

Early stochastic events may play a role in delaying the time-to-detection of virus after an initial reactivation event. This may occur because, when there are only small numbers of infected cells, it is possible for the number of infected cells to expand, contract, or occasionally continue at low levels for some time before expanding (leading to a delay before exponential growth commences). Her...

In 1997 and 1998, H3N2 influenza A viruses emerged among pigs in North America. Genetic analyses of the H3N2 isolates demonstrated that they had distinctly different genotypes. The most commonly isolated viruses in the United States have a triple-reassortant genotype, with the hemagglutinin, neuraminidase, and PB1 polymerase genes being of human influenza virus origin, the nucleoprotein, matrix...

Partially purified virus preparations from sporophores of Agaricus bisporus affected with LaFrance disease had up to a 15-fold-higher RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity than did comparable preparations from healthy sporophores. Enzyme activity was dependent upon the presence of Mg2+ and the four nucleoside triphosphates and was insensitive to actinomycin D, a-amanitin, and rifampin. The 3H-l...

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes varicella and establishes latency in sensory ganglia. VZV reactivation results in herpes zoster. We developed a model using human dorsal root ganglion (DRG) xenografts in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice to investigate VZV infection of differentiated neurons and satellite cells in vivo. DRG engrafted under the kidney capsule and contained neurons a...

The replication of mouse-tropic and xenotropic strains of murine leukemia virus in human x mouse hybrid cells was investigated. NB-tropic strains of the leukemia virus replicated efficiently in several hybrid lines, including those that contained a complete complement of human chromosomes and many mouse chromosomes. In lines with only a few mouse chromosomes, NB-tropic viruses failed to replica...

Corona virus disease (COVID-19) has an incredible influence in the last few months. It causes thousands of deaths round world. This make a rapid research movement to deal with this new virus. As computer science, many technical researches have been done tackle it by using image processing algorithms. In work, we introduce method based on deep learning networks classify COVID-19 x-ray images. Ou...
