Seroprevalence of rift valley fever virus and associated risk factors in small ruminants at human-livestock-wildlife interface within Uganda’s conservation areas

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Following the first laboratory confirmed human Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV) outbreak in 48 years, Uganda has continued to detect sporadic outbreaks, particularly within the cattle corridor since 2016.

Zika Virus Disease

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACT The history of Zika virus disease serves as a paradigm of a typical emerging viral infection. Zika virus disease, a mosquito-borne flavivirus, was first isolated in 1947 in the Zika forest of Uganda. The same virus was also isolated from jungle-dwelling mosquitoes ( Aedes [ Stegomyia

Transcriptional profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from prebiopsy prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...

International Network for Capacity Building for the Control of Emerging Viral Vector-Borne Zoonotic Diseases: Arbo-Zoonet [PDF]

, 2009
Arboviruses are arthropod-borne viruses, which include West Nile fever virus (WNFV), a mosquito-borne virus, Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), a mosquito-borne virus, and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), a tick-borne virus.

Genomic Epidemiology and National Seroprevalence Reveal the Widespread Distribution of Palyam Viruses in China

Viruses
The taxonomic species Palyam virus (PALV) comprises a group of widely distributed, Culicoides-borne arboviruses linked to bovine reproductive disorders, yet its genetic diversity and seroprevalence in China have not been fully characterized.

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

Potato leafroll virus, its purification from its vector Myzus persicae [PDF]

, 1967
Experiments were described on the purification of potato leafroll virus (PLRV) from its vector Myzus persicae. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that much non- viral material had to be removed from aphid macerates to obtain a pure virus preparation ...

A humanized mouse model identifies key amino acids for low immunogenicity of H7N9 vaccines

Scientific Reports, 2017
Influenza vaccines of H7N9 subtype are consistently less immunogenic in humans than vaccines developed for other subtypes. Although prior immunoinformatic analysis identified T-cell epitopes in H7 hemagglutinin (HA) which potentially enhance regulatory T

Borna Disease Virus and Human Disease [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2001
SUMMARYThe biology of Borna disease virus (BDV) strongly supports the likelihood of human infection with BDV or a variant of BDV. Thus far, the evidence supporting BDV infection in humans has initiated much controversy among basic and clinical scientists; only time and additional research will support or refute the hypothesis of human BDV infection ...
