Oyster RNA-seq data support the development of Malacoherpesviridae genomics [PDF]
The family of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) Malacoherpesviridae includes viruses able to infect marine mollusks and detrimental for worldwide aquaculture production. Due to fast-occurring mortality and a lack of permissive cell lines, the available data on

Potential mutations associated with occult hepatitis B virus status [PDF]
Context: Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) status (OHBS) is simply defined as the presence of HBV DNA in the liver (with or without detectable HBV DNA in the serum), in the absence of serum HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). Importance of OHBS is mostly clinical,

Involvement of C4 protein of beet severe curly top virus (family Geminiviridae) in virus movement. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Beet severe curly top virus (BSCTV) is a leafhopper transmitted geminivirus with a monopartite genome. C4 proteins encoded by geminivirus play an important role in virus/plant interaction.
