Diagnostic electron microscopy for infectious diseases has the advantage that “everything” in the specimen can be observed, without a priori knowledge of the likely identity of the microorganisms present in the sample.

Expression of Sindbis virus structural proteins via recombinant vaccinia virus: synthesis, processing, and incorporation into mature Sindbis virions [PDF]
We have obtained a vaccinia virus recombinant which contains a complete cDNA copy of the 26S RNA of Sindbis virus within the thymidine kinase gene of the vaccinia virus genome.

Vaccinia virus-based vector against infectious diseases and tumors
Vaccinia virus was used to prevent smallpox. After the World Health Organization declared smallpox extinct, vaccinia virus has been explored for the development of vaccines against a variety of infectious diseases.

Attenuation of Vaccinia Virus [PDF]
Since 1980, in the post-smallpox vaccination era the human population has become increasingly susceptible compared to a generation ago to not only the variola (smallpox) virus, but also other zoonotic orthopoxviruses. The need for safer vaccines against orthopoxviruses is even greater now.

Mpox and the Ethics of Outbreak Management: Lessons for Future Public Health Crises
ABSTRACT Mpox, first identified in captive monkeys in 1958 and recognized in humans by 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was historically confined to sporadic zoonotic outbreaks in Central and West Africa. These outbreaks, often driven by rodent‐to‐human transmission in resource‐limited settings, reflect persistent systemic health disparities ...

The viral protein VP6 of rotavirus coinmunoprecipated with HSC70 in cels MA104
Introduction: Rotaviruses are the main cause of gastroenteritis in children under five years old. At this moment is unknown how these viruses entry to host cell. The heat shock cognate protein HSC70 has been involved in rotavirus cell entry. However, the

Smallpox Vaccination of Laboratory Workers at US Variola Testing Sites
To evaluate the need to revaccinate laboratory workers against smallpox, we assessed regular revaccination at the US Laboratory Response Network’s variola testing sites by examining barriers to revaccination and the potential for persistence of immunity.

Mutations in human dynamin block an intermediate stage in coated vesicle formation [PDF]
The role of human dynamin in receptor-mediated endocytosis was investigated by transient expression of GTP-binding domain mutants in mammalian cells. Using assays which detect intermediates in coated vesicle formation, the dynamin mutants were found to ...

Humoral epitope dominance and immune imprinting by SARS‐CoV‐1 and SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccines
We investigated Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine candidates expressing the SARS‐CoV‐1 or SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike, as a primary or booster immunization, for their ability to induce antibodies targeting different epitopes on the SARS‐CoV‐2 RBD and broad cross‐reactive or cross‐neutralizing responses in C57BL/6 and antibody humanized (Ig‐humanized) mice ...
