Polymerase errors accumulating during natural evolution of the glycoprotein gene of vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana serotype isolates [PDF]
We report the entire glycoprotein (G) gene nucleotide sequences of 26 vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana serotype (VSV IND) type 1 isolates from North and Central America. These sequences are also compared with partial G gene sequences of VSV IND type 2 (Cocal) and type 3 (Alagoas) viruses and the complete G gene sequences of the more distantly related

Safety and tolerability of HIV-1 multiantigen pDNA vaccine given with IL-12 plasmid DNA via electroporation, boosted with a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus HIV Gag vaccine in healthy volunteers in a randomized, controlled clinical trial. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The addition of plasmid cytokine adjuvants, electroporation, and live attenuated viral vectors may further optimize immune responses to DNA vaccines in heterologous prime-boost combinations.

Vesicular stomatitis (VS) is a notifiable disease of livestock affecting cattle, horses, pigs and humans. Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) serotypes Indiana and New Jersey are endemic to Central America; however, they also cause sporadic and scattered outbreaks in various countries in South and North America, including the USA.

Vesiculoviruses (VSV) are zoonotic viruses that cause vesicular stomatitis disease in cattle, horses and pigs, as well as sporadic human cases of acute febrile illness. Therefore, diagnosis of VSV infections by reliable laboratory techniques is important

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

Monoclonal antibodies to the M protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (Indiana serotype) and to a cDNA M gene expression product [PDF]
Twenty-nine independent hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies to the matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (Indiana serotype) were prepared by fusion of SP2/0 myeloma cells with spleen lymphocytes obtained from BALB/c mice which had been immunized with the purified M protein.

The Morphology of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (Indiana C) Derived from Chick Embryos or Cultures of BHK21/13 Cells [PDF]
SUMMARY: The virus of vesicular stomatitis is shown to exist as a system of several particle forms. Two major particles, the “bullet” and “cap”, appear in electron micrographs in various states as outer structural layers are absent or lost. High infectivity is not associated with particles of one form.

Bat airway epithelial cells: a novel tool for the study of zoonotic viruses.
Bats have been increasingly recognized as reservoir of important zoonotic viruses. However, until now many attempts to isolate bat-borne viruses in cell culture have been unsuccessful.

Vibrational Spectroscopic Detection of Single Virus by a Confocal Interferometric Mid-Infrared Photothermal Microscope [PDF]
We report a confocal interferometric mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) microscope and its application to label-free detection of biological nanoparticles down to single virus level. We apply the interferometric scattering principle to detect the weak photothermal effect induced by infrared absorption in a viral particle. We validated this method with two
