Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJapanese Encephalitis Virus: An Emerging PathogenSneham Tiwari, Sai V.P. Chitti, Asha Mathur, Shailendra K. SaxenaJapanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is a flavivirus maintained in a zoonotic cycle which involves pigs, birds and Culex species of mosquitoes causing fatal encephalitis endemic most of Asia and as far as Australia from its putative origin in Indonesia and Malaysia. The principle vector is Culex mosquito, most important being Culex tritaenorhynchus, present in greatest density in rainy season (June … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Aug 2012 · 14,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Exploration of Multilocus Interactions on the Genome-Wide ScaleIvan Kozyryev, Jing ZhangProblem statement: Recent technological and scientific advances propelled the field of Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), which promises to be instrumental in linking many common complex diseases to their genetic origin. While so far such large-scale surveys have been moderately successful in identifying disease related genetic variants, much of disease heritability is still not accounted for by the discovered loci. There … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Jul 2012 · 7,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCapability of Streptomyces spp. in Controlling Bacterial Leaf Blight Disease in Rice PlantsRatih Dewi Hastuti, Yulin Lestari, Rasti Saraswati et al.Problem statement: Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is the most damaging disease in lowland rice growing areas in Indonesia. Streptomyces spp. have been known as a producer of antimicrobial compounds that can be used as biocontrol agents. This study examined the ability of three promising indigenous Streptomyces isolates which were previously selected from in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 30 May 2012 · 9,366 accessesView PDFCite
