Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus Virophage Seroconversion in Travelers Returning from Laos

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
During January 2010, a husband and wife returned from Laos to France with probable parasitic disease. Increased antibodies against an Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus virophage indicated seroconversion. While in Laos, they had eaten raw fish, a potential

Human brain matters: Navigating the neuropathology of COVID‐19

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Severe COVID‐19 is associated with vascular dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation, leading to axonal injury and neurodegeneration. In long COVID or PASC, persistent alterations in neuroimaging and biofluid biomarkers reflect ongoing neuronal damage and neuroinflammation, contributing to long‐term neurological symptoms including fatigue, cognitive

Influenza Virus A (H1N1) in Giant Anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla)

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
In February 2007, an outbreak of respiratory disease occurred in a group of giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) at the Nashville Zoo. Isolates from 2 affected animals were identified in March 2007 as a type A influenza virus related to human influenza subtype H1N1.

Boiling Acid Mimics Intracellular Giant Virus Genome Release [PDF]

, 2019
SummarySince their discovery, giant viruses have expanded our understanding of the principles of virology. Due to their gargantuan size and complexity, little is known about the life cycles of these viruses. To answer outstanding questions regarding giant virus infection mechanisms, we set out to determine biomolecular conditions that promote giant ...

Virophages of Giant Viruses: An Update at Eleven

Viruses, 2019
The last decade has been marked by two eminent discoveries that have changed our perception of the virology field: The discovery of giant viruses and a distinct new class of viral agents that parasitize their viral factories, the virophages.

Effect of Periodic Fasting on Growth and Feed Efficiency in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium Rosenbergii, De Man 1879) [PDF]

, 2019
There are obstacles in the aquaculture business that is still often facedbyfarmers, one of the challengesisthe high price of commercial feed. Feed as an energy source for growth is a reasonably high-cost component in production that reaches 40-89 %.

Curating the Unexpected: Stéphane Thidet's “Weeping Stones” Transformed During COVID‐19

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A monumental work by French artist Stéphane Thidet became the nexus for an unexpected interaction between an art installation and wildlife. “Weeping Stones,” which presents a desert‐like world, devoid of greenery, was featured in an exhibition we co‐curated at the Genia Schreiber University Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, in January 2020.

Continuous year-round isolation of giant viruses from brackish shoreline soils

Frontiers in Microbiology
Giant viruses, categorized under Nucleocytoviricota, are believed to exist ubiquitously in natural environments. However, comprehensive reports on isolated giant viruses remain scarce, with limited information available on unrecoverable strains, viral ...

Gram-Positive Bacteria-Like DNA Binding Machineries Involved in Replication Initiation and Termination Mechanisms of Mimivirus

Viruses, 2019
The detailed mechanisms of replication initiation, termination and segregation events were not yet known in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV). Here, we show detailed bioinformatics-based analyses of chromosomal replication in APMV from initiation ...

Mechanism of membrane tube formation induced by adhesive nanocomponents

, 2012
We report numerical simulations of membrane tubulation driven by large colloidal particles. Using Monte Carlo simulations we study how the process depends on particle size, concentration and binding strength, and present accurate free energy calculations
