Terminal Region Sequence Variations in Variola Virus DNA

Virology, 1996
Genome DNA terminal region sequences were determined for a Brazilian alastrim variola minor virus strain Garcia-1966 that was associated with an 0.8% case-fatality rate and African smallpox strains Congo-1970 and Somalia-1977 associated with variola major (9.6%) and minor (0.4%) mortality rates, respectively.

Viral detection by electron microscopy: past, present and future. [PDF]

, 2008
International audienceViruses are very small and most of them can be seen only by TEM (transmission electron microscopy). TEM has therefore made a major contribution to virology, including the discovery of many viruses, the diagnosis of various viral ...

Alastrim Smallpox Variola Minor Virus Genome DNA Sequences

Virology, 2000
Alastrim variola minor virus, which causes mild smallpox, was first recognized in Florida and South America in the late 19th century. Genome linear double-stranded DNA sequences (186,986 bp) of the alastrim virus Garcia-1966, a laboratory reference strain from an outbreak associated with 0.8% case fatalities in Brazil in 1966, were determined except ...

False positives complicate ancient pathogen identifications using high-throughput shotgun sequencing [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Identification of historic pathogens is challenging since false positives and negatives are a serious risk. Environmental non-pathogenic contaminants are ubiquitous.

Topography of Variola Smallpox Virus Inverted Terminal Repeats

Virology, 1995
We examined the nucleotide sequences of the inverted terminal repeat (ITR) regions adjacent to the covalently closed hairpin end sequences of three variola major and four minor strains from smallpox outbreaks in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.

Poxvirus-encoded TNF decoy receptors inhibit the biological activity of transmembrane TNF [PDF]

, 2015
© 2015 The Authors. Poxviruses encode up to four different soluble TNF receptors, named cytokine response modifier B (CrmB), CrmC, CrmD and CrmE. These proteins mimic the extracellular domain of the cellular TNF receptors to bind and inhibit the activity
