Reassortment between two serologically unrelated bluetongue virus strains is flexible and can involve any genome segment.
Coinfection of a cell by two different strains of a segmented virus can give rise to a "reassortant" with phenotypic characteristics that might differ from those of the parental strains. Bluetongue virus (BTV) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) segmented virus and the cause of bluetongue, a major infectious disease of livestock. BTV exists as at least 26 different serotypes (BTV-1 to BTV-26). Pro...
متن کاملTwo novel strains of Bacillus thuringiensis toxic to coleopterans.
Two novel strains of Bacillus thuringiensis were isolated from native habitats by the use of genes coding for proteins toxic to coleopterans (cryIII genes) as hybridization probes. Strain EG2838 (isolated by the use of the cryIIIA probe) contained a cryIIIA-hybridizing plasmid of approximately 100 MDa and synthesized crystal proteins of approximately 200 (doublet), 74, 70, 32, and 28 kDa. Strai...
متن کاملDiamondback Moth Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis in Hawaii
Resistance to the microbial insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner has evolved in field populations of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), in Hawaii. Three field populations that had been treated repeatedly with commercial formulations of the sporecrystal protein complex of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki developed significant resistance to it. The LC50 of the most resistant popul...
متن کاملStability of the larvicidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis: amino acid modification and denaturants.
The Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis mosquito larvicidal toxin is not a sulfhydryl-activated toxin. The protein disulfide bonds were cleaved and blocked without loss of toxicity. In contrast, modification of the lysine side chains eliminated toxicity. Additionally, the toxin was resistant to high concentrations of salt (8 M NaBr), organic solvents (40% methanol), denaturants (4 M urea)...
متن کاملMosquito larvicidal activity of transgenic Anabaena PCC 7120 expressing toxin genes from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis.
Genes encoding the mosquito larvicidal toxins Cry4Aa, Cry11Aa, Cyt1Aa and the regulatory P20 from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis were introduced into the nitrogen-fixing, filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7120 for expression under control of two strong promoters P(psbA) and P(A1). The clone pRVE4-ADRC displayed toxicity against fourth-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti, the highest...
