Patch formation driven by stochastic effects of interaction between viruses and defective interfering particles [PDF]
Defective interfering particles (DIPs) are virus-like particles that occur naturally during virus infections. These particles are defective, lacking essential genetic materials for replication, but they can interact with the wild-type virus and potentially be used as therapeutic agents.

THE NATURE OF THE VIRUS OF MEASLES
As soon as we had satisfied ourselves of the susceptibility of the monkey to inoculation with measles 1 we turned our attention to the study of the nature of the virus as it exists in the circulating blood. Accordingly we made experiments to determine its filterability, its resistance to drying, heat, freezing and "age," and now desire to present ...

A Comparative Analysis of CNN-Based Pretrained Models for the Detection and Prediction of Monkeypox [PDF]
Monkeypox is a rare disease that raised concern among medical specialists following the convi-19 pandemic. It's concerning since monkeypox is difficult to diagnose early on because of symptoms that are similar to chickenpox and measles. Furthermore, because this is a rare condition, there is a knowledge gap among healthcare professionals.
