Metagenomics to Identify Viral Communities Associated with Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex in Tibetan Pigs in the Tibetan Plateau, China

open access: yesPathogens
Tibetan pig is a unique pig breed native to the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. To investigate viral communities associated with porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC), 167 respiratory samples were collected from Tibetan pigs in the Ganzi Tibetan autonomous ...

Block of death-receptor apoptosis protects mouse cytomegalovirus from macrophages and is a determinant of virulence in immunodeficient hosts. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The inhibition of death-receptor apoptosis is a conserved viral function. The murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) gene M36 is a sequence and functional homologue of the human cytomegalovirus gene UL36, and it encodes an inhibitor of apoptosis that binds to ...

Structural organization, expression, and functional characterization of the murine cytomegalovirus immediate-early gene 3. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
We have previously defined ie3 as a coding region located downstream of the ie1 gene which gives rise to a 2.75-kb immediate-early (IE) transcript. Here we describe the structural organization of the ie3 gene, the amino acid sequence of the gene product,

Genomic evidence of the blood virome and bacteriome provides insights into prevalence, evolution, and susceptibility-related genes across Eurasian pigs

open access: yesBMC Genomics
Background Infectious diseases are among the primary constraints to pig production, and the globalization of the pig industry has contributed to the emergence and spread of pathogens.

Integrative analysis of swine infectious diseases in the context of xenotransplantation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases
Background: The initiation of clinical pig xenotransplantation trials offers the prospect of alleviating global organ shortage. However, current knowledge of swine-derived microorganisms relevant to xenotransplantation remains fragmented due to the ...

Restoration of cytomegalovirus antigen presentation by gamma interferon combats viral escape. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
An immediate-early protein of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), pp89, elicits an immunodominant and protective major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I Ld-restricted CD8+ T-lymphocyte response.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication dynamics in HCMV-naive and -experienced immunocompromised hosts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can infect both HCMV-naive and -experienced transplant patients. In this study, the growth rate of HCMV in HCMV-naive hosts (1.82 units/day; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44-2.56 units/day) was shown to be significantly ...

Identification and expression of a murine cytomegalovirus early gene coding for an Fc receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Several herpesviruses, including cytomegalovirus, induce receptors for the Fc domain of murine immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecules. Viral genes coding for these receptors have been characterized only for alphaherpesviruses. In this report, we describe a new
