The use of potyvirus-specific primers and subsequent application of the RACE procedure allowed the cloning of the 3' terminal 1088 nucleotides of the genomic RNA of the Taiwan isolate of sweetpotato latent virus (SPLV-T) and the 3' genomic 1085 nucleotides of a SPLV-like virus from China (SPLV-CH). The sequence of an internal part of the presumptive nuclear inclusion b gene was also determined ...

Aplastic crisis in sickle cell anaemia has been associated with infection by a serum parvovirus-like virus (SPLV). Reports of outbreaks of these crises in hereditary spherocytosis (HS) were investigated to see if the data were consistent with a single agent such as SPLV being their cause. The age distribution of the cases and the pattern of spread were compatible with an infectious aetiology. T...

Sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas L.) are grown extensively, in tropical and temperate regions, and are important food crops worldwide. In Korea, potyviruses, including Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV), Sweet potato virus C (SPVC), Sweet potato virus G (SPVG), Sweet potato virus 2 (SPV2), and Sweet potato latent virus (SPLV), have been detected in sweet potato fields at a high (~95%) inc...

Wang, L. Y., Chen K. C., Chen, T. C., and Yeh, S. D. 2007. Nucleotide sequence analysis and detection application of the coat protein gene of Sweet potato latent virus isolated from central Taiwan. Plant Pathol. Bull. 16: 141-148. A potyvirus-like agent (isolate CY) was isolated from sweet potato with leaf symptoms of chlorotic spots and vein mottling in Chia-Yi area, Taiwan. A 1.9-kb DNA produ...

The virus earlier reported from spinach (S. oleracea) from Yugoslavia under the tentative name of spinach latent virus has been shown — by symptomatology in test plants, properties in sap, transmission through seed and serological reactions — to be identical with the ilarvirus characterised under the same name in the Netherlands. After mechanical inoculation the Yugoslav isolate (SpLV/ /H) of s...

combination formulations of liposomes with collagen have been previously introduced as a means of obtaining more stable and less permeable liposomes. in this study, the effect of aqueous solutions of the collagen products collapur? (col) and collapuron-dak? (cold) from henkle co., on the release rate of sodium chromate (chr) as a water-soluble model drug from stable plurilamellar vesicles (splv...

Abstract Background Clinical deterioration is fast once heart failure (HF) develops in patients with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) [1]. Despite its established role HF normal anatomy [2,3], little known about the contribution of inflammation sRV-HF patients. Aims To assess and echocardiography sRV or without to relate echocardiographic ventricular function. Methods In this cross-sectional pr...

Sweet potato is grown extensively from tropical to temperate regions and is an important food crop worldwide. In this study, we established detection methods for 17 major sweet potato viruses using single and multiplex RT-PCR assays. To investigate the current incidence of viral diseases, we collected 154 samples of various sweet potato cultivars showing virus-like symptoms from 40 fields in 10...
