Occurrence of viral diseases in donkeys (Equus asinus) in São Paulo State, Brazil
Among the diseases that affect equines, viral diseases play an important role from a health and economic point of view, especially influenza, viral arteritis, herpes infections and vesicular stomatitis.

Single virus fingerprinting by widefield interferometric defocus-enhanced mid-infrared photothermal microscopy [PDF]
Clinical identification and fundamental study of viruses rely on the detection of viral proteins or viral nucleic acids. Yet, amplification-based and antigen-based methods are not able to provide precise compositional information of individual virions due to small particle size and low-abundance chemical contents (e.g., ~ 5000 proteins in a vesicular ...

Predicting essential components of signal transduction networks: a dynamic model of guard cell abscisic acid signaling [PDF]
Plants both lose water and take in carbon dioxide through microscopic stomatal pores, each of which is regulated by a surrounding pair of guard cells. During drought, the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits stomatal opening and promotes stomatal closure, thereby promoting water conservation.

Evaluating Temperature Sensitivity of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus–Based Vaccines
Use of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)–based Ebola virus vaccine during outbreaks and the potential use of a similar VSV-based Lassa virus vaccine has raised questions about the vaccines’ stability should the cold chain fail.

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

Safety of Recombinant VSV–Ebola Virus Vaccine Vector in Pigs
The ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa has resulted in fast-track development of vaccine candidates. We tested a vesicular stomatitis virus vector expressing Ebola virus glycoprotein for safety in pigs.

Vesicular Stomatitis Virus–Based Vaccines against Lassa and Ebola Viruses
We demonstrated that previous vaccination with a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)–based Lassa virus vaccine does not alter protective efficacy of subsequent vaccination with a VSV-based Ebola virus vaccine.
