Viral infection mimicking genetic patterns

Idiosyncratic reactions to carbamazepine mimicking viral infection in children.

Idiosyncratic reactions to carbamazepine mimicking viral infection in children Adverse reactions to carbamazepine include rashes, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly,l and bone marrow depression ranging from mild leucopenia to aplastic anaemia.2 Such reactions are rare in children. Mild leucopenia does not indicate withdrawal of the drug, but more serious bone marrow and systemic effects do. We...

Patterns of viral infection in honey bee queens

The well-being of a colony and replenishment of the workers depends on a healthy queen. Diseases in queens are seldom reported, and our knowledge on viral infection in queens is limited. In this study, 86 honey bee queens were collected from beekeepers in Denmark. All queens were tested separately by two real-time PCRs: one for the presence of deformed wing virus (DWV), and one that would detec...

Linking dynamical and population genetic models of persistent viral infection.

This article develops a theoretical framework to link dynamical and population genetic models of persistent viral infection. This linkage is useful because, while the dynamical and population genetic theories have developed independently, the biological processes they describe are completely interrelated. Parameters of the dynamical models are important determinants of evolutionary processes su...

Persistent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection in cattle herds

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a significant pathogen associated with gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive diseases of cattle worldwide. It causes continuous economic losses to the cattle industry primarily due to decreased reproductive performance. The ability of virus to cross the placenta during early pregnancy can result in the birth of persistently infected (PI) calves. P...
