متن کاملReport of a case of Orf with multiple lesions
Orf is a disease caused by parapoxviruses. Infection is transmitted to human from animals like sheep and goats, Herein, we report a 47- year- old man with fourteen lesions on different parts of his right hand, while usually the lesion is single and up to a maximum of ten lesions have been reported previously.
متن کاملIn vitro Interaction of HSV-1 ORF P with Both Thymidine Kinase (TK) and an Unidentified Cellular Protein
Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) is a neurotropic pathogen of humans that establishes latent infection in the sensory ganglia innervating the site of primary infection. A number of genes control HSV-1 pathogenicity and latency. Open reading frame P (ORF P) is one of these genes that might have a role in latency and pathogenesis. A complication in the analysis of the role of ORF P in the HSV-...
متن کاملConstruction of Recombinant Bacmid DNA Encoding Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) Fusion Protein Gene
Background and Aims: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one of the major pathogen in poultry. Vaccination is intended to control the disease as an effective solution nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. F gene open reading frame (ORF) from NDV is 1650 bp, encoding a protein of 553 amino acids that can induce protective immunity alone. The F glycoprotein on the surf...
متن کاملFowlpox virus encodes nonessential homologs of cellular alpha-SNAP, PC-1, and an orphan human homolog of a secreted nematode protein.
The genome of fowlpox virus (FWPV), type species of the Avipoxviridae, is considerably rearranged compared with that of vaccinia virus (the prototypic poxvirus and type species of the Orthopoxviridae) and is 30% larger. It is likely that the genome of FWPV contains genes in addition to those found in vaccinia virus, probably involved with its replication and survival in the chicken. A 7,470-bp ...
