Editorial "Vitamins Against Viruses: Implausible Pro-Vaccine Publications Contrasted Against Ignored Public Health Campaigns and Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trials" from Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine 2019 June
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is negative sense single stranded RNA belongs to the Avulavirus genus of the Paramyxoviridae family which can be transmitted by inhalation or ingestion. Birds infected shed these viruses in feces as well as... more
In this report, we have investigated the contribution of primary sequence to the carbohydrate requirement for intracellular transport of two closely related glycoproteins, the G proteins of the San Juan and Orsay strains of vesicular... more
Infection by human hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the principal cause of post-transfusion hepatitis and chronic liver diseases worldwide. A reliable in vitro culture system for the isolation and analysis of this virus is not currently... more
To evaluate the EasyCD4 assay, a less expensive method to enumerate CD4+ lymphocytes, in resource-limited settings. Cross-sectional study conducted in the United States and Uganda. We compared CD4+ cell counts obtained on replicate... more
... Complete nucleotide sequence of an infectious clone of a mild isolate of tomato yellow leaf curl ... The nucleotide sequence of a field isolate of a TYLCV-like virus from Israel ... pBI121 was propagated in E. coli HB101 and shuttled... more
The study results reveal an infection rate of 23% among the patients undergoing hemodialysis. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a blood-borne viral infection belonging to the RNA group of viruses that are spherical, enveloped, measure... more
Viral entry targets with therapeutic neutralizing potential are subject to multiple escape mechanisms, including antigenic drift, immune dominance of functionally irrelevant epitopes, and subtle variations in host cell mechanisms. A... more
Late December 2019, a new virus outbreak was detected in Wuhan, Hubei province China and later spread all over the world. The virus is a new strain of the β - Coronavirus (SARS - CoV - 2) with a single strand positive sense RNA, and a... more
Background Coinfections of HIV-positive individuals with Hepatitis B and D virus (HBV and HDV) are common and can be associated with rapid liver damage. Several antiretroviral drugs for HIV exhibit anti-HBV effect; however, the selection... more
Genetic recombination between viral genomes has been shown to contribute to the generation of genetic diversity during retrovirus infections. The role of recombination in the development of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)... more
Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Enterobacter phage vB_EcRAM-01, isolated from waters of the Río Abajo river, in Panama City, Panama. This phage has deployed lytic activity against the Enterobacter cloacae complex, a... more
Bacteriophage lambda has an archetypal immunity system, which prevents superinfection of its E. coli lysogens. It is now known that superinfection at high frequency can occur with toxigenic lambda-like phages, and here we demonstrate that... more
Background and Aim: There is insufficient information about the successfully managed Lassa fever (LF) patients in Nigeria. This study aimed to utilize the One Health approach to identify the risk factors for LF infection among LF patients... more
