Dynamic Model Visualizing the Process of Viral Plaque Formation [PDF]
Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2012 In Microbiology and Virology courses, viral plaques are often presented to students as the way one can visualize viruses/bacteriophages. While students generally grasp the idea that counting plaques is essentially the same as counting viruses in their ...

Immunoplaque Assay (Influenza Virus)
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Despite developed long time ago, plaque assay is still the gold standard for viral titer quantification in modern virology. The standard crystal violet-based plaque assay relies on virus’ ability to induce cytopathic effect (CPE) which limits the assay ...

The Viral Replication Complex Is Associated with the Virulence of Newcastle Disease Virus [PDF]
, 2010 Virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus ([NDV] also known as avian paramyxovirus type 1) can be discriminated from low-virulence strains by the presence of multiple basic amino acid residues at the proteolytic cleavage site of the fusion (F) protein.

Passaging of a Newcastle disease virus pigeon variant in chickens results in selection of viruses with mutations in the polymerase complex enhancing virus replication and virulence [PDF]
, 2010 Some Newcastle disease virus (NDV) variants isolated from pigeons (pigeon paramyxovirus type 1; PPMV-1) do not show their full virulence potential for domestic chickens but may become virulent upon spread in these animals.
