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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Hematological and Alternate Markers in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Disease ProgressionK. V. Ramana, Jagadeeshwara Chary, V. Sabitha et al.Problem statement: The knowledge of HIV infection has expanded tremendously which has led to significant improvement in the treatment, leading to decrease in morbidity and mortality. Considering the limitations in using CD4+T-cell counts and HIV RNA viral load as markers in the HIV disease progression, physicians treating the HIV patients now look for alternate markers that predict HIV disease progression … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Erythrocytic Determination of Anemic Condition among Human Immunodeficiency Virus Sero PositivesM. Andrew Pradeep, M. Thiruvalluvan, V. DhamodharanProblem statement: Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is growing health hazard throughout the world. In developing countries like India anemia is highly prevalent in the population due to the malnourished condition apart, HIV infection is one among the major cause of anemia. The outcome of certain infectious diseases including HIV is worse when the host is malnourished. HIV infection is … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProfiling and Curing from Shigella Spp Isolated from Plasmid Diarrheal PatientsMunim R. Ali, Raad N. Hasan, Ali I. Mohammed, Ahmaed A. AbbasProblem statement: Shigellosis is a common infectious disease especially in underdeveloped countries. The bacteria are primarily transmitted through the faecal-oral route. The inflammatory process of acute Shigella infection affects the colon and is characterized clinically by fever, cramping abdominal pain with frequent loose stools that might contain mucus, pus and blood. Approach: This study determined the susceptibility of Shigella isolates … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,430 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characteristics of P. xylostella Granulovirus and Effects on Its Larval Host Diamondback Moth Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae)A. Dezianian, A. S. Sajap, W. H. Lau et al.Problem Statement: Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) is the most destructive insect pest of cruciferous plants throughout the world which become resistant to wide range of chemical pesticides. PxGV is known as an effective factor on diamondback moth larval mortality. Approach: Some morphological characteristics, viral DNA isolation and Restriction Endonuclease (REN) analysis of P. xylostella granulovirus and its … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,164 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases Induced by Human Retroviruses: A ReviewBryan P. Irish, Zafar K. Khan, Pooja Jain et al.Problem statement: Infection with retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) have been shown to lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as HIV-associated dementia (HAD) or neuroAIDS and HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP), respectively. Approach: HIV-1-induced neurologic disease is associated with an influx of HIV-infected monocytic cells across the blood-brain … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 14,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Flavonoid, Quercetin, Inhibits HIV-1 Infection in Normal Peripheral Blood Mononuclear CellsMadhavan P.N. Nair, Zainulabedin M. Saiyed, Nimisha H. Gandhi, C. N. RamchandProblem statement: Flavonoids and related polyphenols, have been known to possess cardioprotective, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-viral activities. Previous studies have shown that flavonoid, quercetin significantly downregulates expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in cultured cells via modulation of NFκB and p38MAPK signaling pathways. In the current study, we hypothesize that quercetin exerts anti-HIV activity by differential modulation of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokine … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 12,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMembrane Binding Activity with Virus in White Spot Syndrome Virus-Infected Fenneropenaeus chinensisLiu Qing-hui, Huang Jie, Chen Ting, Yang BingProblem statement: White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is one of the most disastrous pathogens in shrimp culture, having caused high mortality in many cultured shrimp species. It is well known that the most important step of viral infection is cell attachment. Approach:Therefore determining the binding activity of shrimp cells to WSSV is an important to evaluate anti-infection ability and understanding … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAAV-Based Targeting Gene TherapyWenfang Shi, Mingxia Yu, Qijun QianSince the first parvovirus serotype AAV2 was isolated from human and used as a vector for gene therapy application, there have been significant progresses in AAV vector development. AAV vectors have been extensively investigated in gene therapy for a broad application. AAV vectors have been considered as the first choice of vector due to efficient infectivity, stable expression and nonpathogenicity. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Neurodevelopmental Genes in Infectious Etiology of AutismS. Hossein FatemiAutism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with both genetic and environmental etiologies. Prenatal infections may play a role in evolution of autism.
