Eradication of Swine Vesicular Disease in Italy
Swine vesicular disease (SVD) is a contagious viral disease of pigs clinically indistinguishable from other vesicular diseases, such as foot and mouth disease, vesicular stomatitis, vesicular exanthema of swine, and idiopathic vesicular disease. In Italy,

Dryland evapotranspiration from remote sensing solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence: constraining an optimal stomatal model within a two-source energy balance model [PDF]
Evapotranspiration (ET) represents the largest water loss flux in drylands, but ET and its partition into plant transpiration (T) and soil evaporation (E) are poorly quantified, especially at fine temporal scales. Physically-based remote sensing models relying on sensible heat flux estimates, like the two-source energy balance model, could benefit from

Vesicularity, bubble formation and noble gas fractionation during MORB degassing [PDF]
The objective of this study is to use molecular dynamics simulation (MD) to evaluate the vesicularity and noble gas fractionation, and to shed light on bubble formation during MORB degassing. A previous simulation study (Guillot and Sator (2011) GCA 75, 1829-1857) has shown that the solubility of CO2 in basaltic melts increases steadily with the ...

Measuring Genetic Robustness in Vesicular Stomatitis Virus
Genetic robustness is the ability of a genome to incorporate mutations with the result of no fitness changes. Thus, more robust viruses have an increased neutral mutation rate.

Bat Employs a Conserved MDA5 Gene to Trigger Antiviral Innate Immune Responses
Bats are important hosts for various zoonotic viral diseases. However, they rarely show signs of disease infection with such viruses. As the first line for virus control, the innate immune system of bats attracted our full attention.

A two-step lyssavirus real-time polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers with superior sensitivity to the fluorescent antigen test [PDF]
A generic two-step lyssavirus real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), based on a nested PCR strategy, was validated for the detection of different lyssavirus species.

Queuing model of axonal transport [PDF]
The motor-driven intracellular transport of vesicles to synaptic targets in the axons and dendrites of neurons plays a crucial role in normal cell function. Moreover, stimulus-dependent regulation of active transport is an important component of long-term synaptic plasticity, whereas the disruption of vesicular transport can lead to the onset of ...

Growth of Pseudotypes of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus with N-Tropic Murine Leukemia Virus Coats in Cells Resistant to N-Tropic Viruses [PDF]
Formation of pseudotypes between murine RNA tumor viruses and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) has been confirmed. Pseudotypes of VSV genomes coated by the surface envelope from an N-tropic tumor virus grew equally well in cells homozygous for either the
