Fomite transmission and disinfection strategies for SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Contaminated objects or surfaces, referred to as fomites, play a critical role in the spread of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The long persistence of viruses (hours to days) on surfaces calls for an urgent need for surface disinfection strategies to intercept virus transmission and the spread of the ...

Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Release of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus via Export of Bull Semen from Israel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Various foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus strains circulate in the Middle East, causing frequent episodes of FMD outbreaks among Israeli livestock. Since the virus is highly resistant in semen, artificial insemination with contaminated bull semen may ...

Genetically engineered multicistronic allele of Pmel yielding highly specific CreERT2‐mediated recombination in the melanocyte lineage

open access: yesPigment Cell &Melanoma Research, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 71-77, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Genetic approaches that allow lineage tracing are essential to our future understanding of melanocytes and melanoma. To date, the approaches used to label melanocytes in mice have relied on random integration of transgenes driven by the promoters of the Tyrosinase and Dopachrome tautomerase genes, knock‐in to the Dopachrome tautomerase locus ...

Some Models for Epidemics of Vector-Transmitted Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Vector-transmitted diseases such as dengue fever and chikungunya have been spreading rapidly in many parts of the world. The Zika virus has been known since 1947 and invaded South America in 2013. It can be transmitted not only by (mosquito) vectors but also directly through sexual contact.

A qualitative risk assessment of factors contributing to foot and mouth disease outbreaks in cattle along the western boundary of the Kruger National Park [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Between November 2000 and the end of 2007, five outbreaks of foot and mouth disease (FMD) occurred in cattle in the area adjacent to the Kruger National Park (KNP) in the north-eastern corner of South Africa.

Willingness to get vaccinated with the first‐generation vaccines against SARS‐CoV‐2

open access: yesPublic Health Nursing, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 1-8, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective To explore people's decision‐making regarding whether or not to get vaccinated against COVID‐19. Methods A purposive sample of people over the age of 18 who had not yet been vaccinated against COVID‐19 was studied. Data were gathered using semi‐structured interviews in focus groups and personal in‐depth interviews.

Foot-and-mouth disease:overview of motives of disease spread and efficacy of available vaccines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Control and prevention of foot and mouth disease (FMD) by vaccination remains unsatisfactory in endemic countries. Indeed, consistent and new FMD epidemics in previously disease-free countries have precipitated the need for a worldwide control strategy ...

Pterostilbene Exhibits Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Activity by Targeting the Enterovirus Capsid, Inactivating Viral Particles, Blocking Viral Binding, and Protecting Mice From Lethal EV‐A71 Challenge

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Pterostilbene (Pte) binds to the VP1 hydrophobic pocket of enteroviruses, stabilizing the viral capsid and preventing uncoating and RNA release. In vitro, Pte inactivates virions and impairs viral attachment, entry, and replication. In vivo, oral administration of Pte in hSCARB2‐transgenic mice reduces clinical symptoms and improves survival ...

Potential role of wildlife in the USA in the event of a foot-and-mouth disease virus incursion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) which affects domestic and wild cloven-hoofed species. The FMD-free status of the USA and the tremendous economic impact of a virus incursion motivated the development of this ...
