A Multiplex RT-PCR Method for the Detection of Reptarenavirus Infection [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 Reptarenaviruses cause Boid Inclusion Body Disease (BIBD), a fatal disease of boid snakes with an economic and ecological impact, as it affects both captive and wild constrictor snakes.

Reptarenavirus S Segment RNA Levels Correlate with the Presence of Inclusion Bodies and the Number of L Segments in Snakes with Reptarenavirus Infection—Lessons Learned from a Large Breeding Colony [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Reptarenaviruses cause boid inclusion body disease (BIBD), a fatal disease particularly impacting captive boa constrictor collections. The development of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs) comprising reptarenavirus nucleoprotein (NP) in many cell types ...

Boid Inclusion Body Disease Is Also a Disease of Wild Boa Constrictors [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Reptarenaviruses cause boid inclusion body disease (BIBD), a potentially fatal disease, occurring in captive constrictor snakes boas and pythons worldwide. Classical BIBD, characterized by the formation of pathognomonic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs),

Persistent Reptarenavirus and Hartmanivirus Infection in Cultured Boid Cells [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Mammarenaviruses establish a persistent infection in their rodent and bat hosts, and the evidence suggests that reptarenaviruses and hartmaniviruses found in captive snakes act similarly.

Molecular characterization of a reptarenavirus detected in a Colombian Red-Tailed Boa (Boa constrictor imperator) [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2023 The global decline in biodiversity is a matter of great concern for members of the class Reptilia. Reptarenaviruses infect snakes, and have been linked to various clinical conditions, such as Boid Inclusion Body Disease (BIBD) in snakes belonging to the ...

Optical Code Construction of 2D Spectral/Spatial BIBD Codes for SAC-OCDMA Systems
Applied Sciences, 2021 Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) shows limitations in terms of the inefficient bandwidth utilization and low spectral density with one-dimensional (1D) codes. To overcome these limitations, a novel design is presented using a two dimensional

Generation of Anti-Boa Immunoglobulin Antibodies for Serodiagnostic Applications, and Their Use to Detect Anti-Reptarenavirus Antibodies in Boa Constrictor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Immunoglobulins (Igs), the key effectors of the adaptive immune system, mediate the specific recognition of foreign structures, i.e. antigens. In mammals, IgM production commonly precedes the production of IgG in the response to an infection.

Sparse multi‐trait genomic prediction under balanced incomplete block design
The Plant Genome, 2023 Sparse testing is essential to increase the efficiency of the genomic selection methodology, as the same efficiency (in this case prediction power) can be obtained while using less genotypes evaluated in the fields.

Analysis of Covariance of Reinforced Balanced Incomplete Block Designs With a Single Explanatory Variable [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2014 Reinforced balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) are very useful in statistical planning of experiments as they can be constructed for any number of treatments for given numbers of replications.

Journal of Mathematics, 2023 In this article, we adapt the edge-graceful graph labeling definition into block designs and define a block design V,B with V=v and B=b as block-graceful if there exists a bijection f:B⟶1,2,…,b such that the induced mapping f+:V⟶Zv given by f+x=∑x∈AA ...
