Prophylactic Effects of Mouthwashes on COVID-19 and its Family Viruses: A Systematic Review
Background and Objectives: One of the most important ways that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is transmitted is through respiratory droplets and contact of person to person. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 is one of the receptors of this virus, which is abundant in the oral cavity, especially on the epithelial cells of the tongue. By joining to its receptor in the mouth, the virus can infe...
متن کاملTransneuronal circuit tracing with neurotropic viruses.
Because neurotropic viruses naturally traverse neural pathways, they are extremely valuable for elucidating neural circuits. Naturally occurring herpes and rabies viruses have been used for transneuronal circuit tracing for decades. Depending on the type of virus and strain, virus can travel preferentially in the anterograde or the retrograde direction. More recently, genetic modifications have...
متن کاملComplement Fixation with the Neurotropic Viruses
Antigens capable of fixing complement specifically with the appropriate antibodies have been prepared from brain tissue of hamsters and mice infected with the viruses of St. Louis, Japanese, Western, and Eastern encephalitis, and with the West Nile virus. The antigens were freed of the material which reacts with normal serum by means of centrifugation at relatively high speed. In addition, the ...
متن کاملEvidence of the COVID-19 Virus Targeting the CNS: Tissue Distribution, Host–Virus Interaction, and Proposed Neurotropic Mechanisms
The recent outbreak of coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID- 19) has gripped the world with apprehension and has evoked a scare of epic proportion regarding its potential to spread and infect humans worldwide. Scientists are struggling to understand how it resembles and differs from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARSCoV) at the genomic and transcriptomic level. Simila...
