Epidemiological Study and Molecular Characterization of Lumpy Skin Disease in Cattle in Egypt
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) constitutes one of the most significant poxvirus infections impacting livestock and has a high morbidity rate and a comparatively low mortality rate. This study was designed to elucidate the epidemiology and the molecular analysis of LSDV using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the extracellular ...

A paradigm for virus-host coevolution: sequential counter-adaptations between endogenous and exogenous retroviruses [PDF]
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections of the host germline transmitted 1vertically from generation to generation. It is hypothesized that some ERVs are used by the host as 1restriction factors to block the infection
