SARS-CoV-2 quasi-species analysis from patients with persistent nasopharyngeal shedding [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 At the time of a new and unprecedented viral pandemic, many questions are being asked about the genomic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and the emergence of different variants, leading to therapeutic and immune evasion and survival of this genetically highly ...

Social Networking of Quasi-Species Consortia drive Virolution via Persistence
AIMS Microbiology, 2021 The emergence of cooperative quasi-species consortia (QS-C) thinking from the more accepted quasispecies equations of Manfred Eigen, provides a conceptual foundation from which concerted action of RNA agents can now be understood.

Genetic Variability of Bovine Leukemia Virus: Evidence of Dual Infection, Recombination and Quasi-Species [PDF]
PathogensWe have characterized the intrahost genetic variation in the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) by examining 16 BLV isolates originating from the Western Siberia–Tyumen and South Ural–Chelyabinsk regions of Russia.

Colonization process determines species diversity via competitive quasi‐exclusion [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 A colonization model provides a useful basis to investigate a role of interspecific competition in species diversity. The model formulates colonization processes of propagules competing for spatially distinct habitats, which is known to result in stable ...

Insights Into Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid Quasi-Species From Infection to Disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Viroids are non-coding RNA plant pathogens that are characterized by their possession of a high mutation level. Although the sequence heterogeneity in viroid infected plants is well understood, shifts in viroid population dynamics due to mutations over ...

Polymorphisms at residue 222 of the hemagglutinin of pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09: association of quasi-species to morbidity and mortality in different risk categories. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The D222G substitution in the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus has been identified as a potential virulence marker, because this change allows for virus invasion deeper into the respiratory tract.

A multispecies investigation of the strain rate sensitivity of the modulus of cortical bone [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021 The stiffness of cortical bone shows both inter- and intra-species variation. Currently, it is unclear whether this variation is due to differing testing protocols or an inherent feature of the material.

Rare insights into intraspecific brood parasitism and apparent quasi–parasitism in black–capped chickadees [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011 Genetic analysis of passerine birds often finds evidence of extra–pair copulations within species, but genetic evidence of intraspecific brood parasitism (IBP) and quasi–parasitism (Q–P) are relatively rare. Further, it is even rarer for genetic patterns

Current Developments and Challenges in Plant Viral Diagnostics: A Systematic Review
Viruses, 2021 Plant viral diseases are the foremost threat to sustainable agriculture, leading to several billion dollars in losses every year. Many viruses infecting several crops have been described in the literature; however, new infectious viruses are emerging ...
