The pathogenicity and virulence of Sindbis virus
VirulenceSindbis virus (SINV), a widely distributed alphavirus, is both a foundational model for viral replication studies and an underrecognized human pathogen. Despite its typically mild presentation, SINV can lead to prolonged joint pain and, in rare cases, neurological complications. This review explores SINV's molecular biology and clinical manifestations,

Multiple genome segments determine virulence of bluetongue virus serotype 8 [PDF]
, 2015 Bluetongue virus (BTV) causes bluetongue, a major hemorrhagic disease of ruminants. In order to investigate the molecular determinants of BTV virulence, we used a BTV8 strain minimally passaged in tissue culture (termed BTV8L in this study) and a ...

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Pathogenicity and virulence of Powassan virus
VirulencePowassan viruses (POWV) are emergent tick-borne Flaviviruses that cause severe encephalitis and long-term neurologic sequelae in patients. POWVs are rapidly spread in the saliva of Ixodes tick species during a 15-minute tick bite. In recent years, there has been an increased incidence of severe POWV disease in the Northeastern United States and ...

Growth in chick chorioallantoic membranes of strains of Newcastle disease virus of differing virulence. [PDF]
, 1970 The growth of eight strains of Newcastle disease virus in chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes was studied by comparing, at different times after infection, the amounts of haemagglutinin released into the allantoic fluid (extracellular haemagglutinin ...
