Molecular characterization of bovine viral diarrhea virus pair 13 revealed that isolate CP13 is composed of a cytopathogenic (cp) defective interfering particle (DI13) and a noncytopathogenic (noncp) helper virus. The DI13 genome possesses two internal deletions of 1,611 and 3,102 nucleotides. Except for a small fragment of the gene coding for glycoprotein E1, all structural protein genes are d...

In this study, a novel indium tin oxide (ITO)-polyaniline (Pani) biosensor was designed, fabricated, and characterized. Initial testing was conducted for the detection of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The biosensor design was based upon the specific nature of antibodies to capture the target virus, and the conductive properties of self-doped Pani to translate the antibody-antigen binding ...

A series of twenty arylpiperazine derivatives of 1,7,8,9-tetrachloro-10,10-dimethoxy-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.0(2,6)]dec-8-ene-3,5-dione have been prepared. These derivatives were tested in vitro with the aim of identifying novel lead compounds active against emergent and re-emergent human and cattle infectious diseases (AIDS, hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis, bovine viral diarrhea). In particular, t...
