Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Affecting the Response to Interferon Alpha Therapy in Egyptian HCV PatientsNaglaa F. Alhusseini, Fathy M. Serry, Ashraf A. Kadry, Heba KhairyHepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. Egypt has the highest prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in the world, estimated nationally at 14.7%. knowledge of the predictors of Sustained Viral Response (SVR) to Pegylated Interferon (PEG-INF) and Ribavirin (RBV) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C is crucial for selecting … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2015 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractEpistein-Barr Virus Infection with Concurrent Pancreatitis and Hepatitis: A Rare Disease EntityJered Cook, Megha Kothari, Andrew NguyenConcurrent acute hepatitis and acute pancreatitis is a rare disease entity. Most commonly it can be attributed to infectious etiologies such as hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis E. Although not as common, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with combined hepatitis and pancreatitis. We report a case of a 25 year-old male … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2015 · 7,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Comparison of RT-LAMP, RT-PCR and Dot-Blot Hybridization for Detection of Jembrana Disease VirusAsmarani Kusumawati, Tenri A. Wanahari, Issabellina D. Tampubolon, Basofi A. MappakayaJembrana disease virus is a viral pathogen that causes Jembrana disease in Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) with high mortality rate. Infection of Jembrana Disease Virus (JDV) on Bali cattle have caused substantial economic losses for farmers in Indonesia and Australia. In order to control the spread, development of a sensitive detection method is important. In this study, we used three … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2015 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Role of Migratory Quail in Spreading of Some Zoonotic Pathogens in EgyptAhmed I. Youssef, Dalia H. MansourThis study aimed to illustrate the potential role of wild migratory quails in the epidemiology of some zoonotic pathogens in Egypt. Ninety four apparently healthy migratory quails were collected from public markets after being trapped during hunting season from the North Sinai. Oral, cloaca and organs (liver, lung and heart) swabs were collected for bacteriological and viral examination. Bacteriological examination … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2014 · 7,532 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPREVALENCE OF AUTOANTIBODIES REVEALS A PREDOMINANT SMA AND ANCA-PR3/MPO PATTERN IN HIV INFECTION AND SMA IN HAV-INFECTED CHILDRENLuz M. Navarta, Carlos A. Espul, Nelson Acosta-RiveroHepatitis A Virus (HAV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) have been associated with development of autoantibodies and autoimmune manifestations in children. Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) is particularly aggressive in children/adolescents with a more severe outcome. Thus, studying the mechanisms of virus-related autoimmune disorders in children is a relevant topic of research. We aimed to study the prevalence of autoantibodies in plasma … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2014 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPRESUMPTIVE REOVIRUS INFECTION IN BROILER BREEDERSF. A. Moreira, M. L. Pinto, L. Cardoso, A. C. CoelhoTenosynovitis is one of the pathological manifestations of avian reovirus infection and are of economic importance, special in one of the most important stages of the poultry industry, i.e., broiler breeders. In late May 2012, an outbreak of unilateral lameness occurred in a broiler breeder flock (15,000 birds divided by two houses) of a multi-age farm, with a total of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGENERALIZED REGRESSION NEURAL NETWORK BASED EXPERT SYSTEM FOR HEPATITIS B DIAGNOSISC. Mahesh, E. Kannan, M. S. SaravananHepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus. The virus interferes with the function of the liver while replicating in hepatocytes. It is a major global health problem and the most serious type of viral hepatitis. Chronic liver disease is caused by viral hepatitis and putting people at high risk of death from cirrhosis … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 3 Dec 2013 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpigenetic Mechanisms in Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Potential New Link Between Stem Cells, Virology and CancerQinghua Feng, Sajida Hassan, Trina Das et al.Recent studies suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are not only essential for the dynamic transcriptional regulation in embryonic and somatic stem cells, but are also actively involved in tumorigenesis: genes important for pluripotency are epigenetically regulated and aberrant epigenetic changes have been detected in virtually all human malignancies studied, including Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Infection with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2013 · 8,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCo-Inhibitory Molecule Programmed Death-1 and its Ligands: A New Alternative Therapy for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection?A. Leon-Flores, P. Del Rio, G. Reyes-TeranChronic viral infections are characterized by the up-regulation of a set of immunomodulatory receptors. The over-expression of co-inhibitory molecules on T cells leads to a dysfunctional T cell response with an "exhausted" phenotype. Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) is a molecule that exerts an inhibitory signal on the T cell receptor when it binds to the PD-L1 or PD-L2 ligands present on … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBovine Viral Diarrhea-an Emerging Disease in Camelids a ReviewU. WerneryBovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) is an emerging disease in both New World Camelids (NWCs) and Old World Camelids (OWCs). The virus has been isolated from NWCs particularly in alpacas and dromedaries, but there are no reports of BVD in Bactrians. BVD is an important infectious disease. Both sub-genotypes 1a, 1b and genotype 2 have been isolated from NWCs but the … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Aug 2012 · 12,853 accessesView PDFCite
