Axonal spread of neuroinvasive viral infections

Studies on Avian Viral Infections in Iran

Axonal and transynaptic spread of prions.

UNLABELLED Natural transmission of prion diseases depends upon the spread of prions from the nervous system to excretory or secretory tissues, but the mechanism of prion transport in axons and into peripheral tissue is unresolved. Here, we examined the temporal and spatial movement of prions from the brain stem along cranial nerves into skeletal muscle as a model of axonal transport and transyn...

Dynamical Modeling of Viral Spread

In this paper we study a three-component mathematical model for the spread of a viral disease in a population of spatially distributed hosts. The model is developed from the two-component model proposed by Tuckwell and Toubiana in 2007. The positions of the hosts are randomly generated in a rectangular map. Within-host viralimmune system parameters are generated randomly to provide variability ...

Nosocomial spread of viral disease.

Viruses are important causes of nosocomial infection, but the fact that hospital outbreaks often result from introduction(s) from community-based epidemics, together with the need to initiate specific laboratory testing, means that there are usually insufficient data to allow the monitoring of trends in incidences. The most important defenses against nosocomial transmission of viruses are detai...

molecular diagnosis of viral infections

context: detection of causative pathogen is crucial for treatment strategies in most infections. molecular diagnosis as a more sensitive and specific method, has become the best option to investigate certain pathogens, mainly viruses. recent scientific and technological approaches resulted in changing the area of diagnostic microbiology. evidence acquisition: a comprehensive online search of da...
