Two groups of four dairy cows (Bos taurus) were infected subcutaneously with the epizootic Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus (VEE) strains MF-8 and San Pelayo, respectively. Animals experienced no clinical illness, but all developed significant neutropenia. Virus was recovered once each from the blood of three animals but did not exceed 10(2.2) SMICLD(50) (Suckling mouse intracerebral l...

Column chromatography of selected Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) viruses on calcium phosphate gel offered a simple and reproducible method for examination of biochemical characteristics and relatedness of strains within the VEE complex. Members of antigenic subgroup I demonstrated a series of elution profiles within a narrow range of 0.22 to 0.25 M phosphate buffer. Members of antige...

Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus was isolated in 1993, 1994, and 1995 from human cases of acute, undifferentiated, febrile illness in the Peruvian Amazon Basin. Two virus isolates were recovered in 1994 from Peruvian soldiers at a jungle outpost near Pantoja in northern Peru, and 10 isolates were obtained from military personnel and civilians in 1993-1995 in Iquitos, an urban center i...

The VEE complex of viruses includes six antigenic subtypes (I–VI). Within subtype I there are five antigenic variants (variants AB–F). Originally, subtypes I-A and I-B were considered to be distinct variants, but they are now considered to be identical (I-AB). Antigenic variants I-AB and I-C are associated with epizootic activity in equids and human epidemics. Historically, severe outbreaks hav...

the set of all non-increasing non-negative integer sequences $pi=(d_1‎, ‎d_2,ldots,d_n)$ is denoted by $ns_n$‎. ‎a sequence $piin ns_{n}$ is said to be graphic if it is the degree sequence of a simple graph $g$ on $n$ vertices‎, ‎and such a graph $g$ is called a realization of $pi$‎. ‎the set of all graphic sequences in $ns_{n}$ is denoted by $gs_{n}$‎. ‎the complete product split graph on $l‎ ...

Abstract. The interval-valued prime fuzzy ideals (in brevity, the iv. prime fuzzy ideals) of a semigroup have been recently studied by Kar, Sarkar and Shum [18]. As a continued study of i-v fuzzy ideals, we are going to investigate the properties of i-v fuzzy quasi-ideal and i-v fuzzy bi-ideal of a semiring and then we characterize the regularity and intra-regularity of a semiring in terms of t...

Abstract. In this paper, intuitionistic fuzzy h-bi-ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy hquasi-ideals of hemirings are studied and some related properties are investigated. We characterize fully idempotent hemirings by the properties of their intuitionistic fuzzy h-ideals.We also characterize h-hemiregularity, h-intra-hemiregularity and h-quasi-hemiregularity in hemirings by the properties of their ...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of (α, β)-fuzzy ideals in ternary semigroups, which is a generalization of fuzzy ideals in ternary semigroups. We investigate the related properties of ternary semigroups. The lower and upper parts of fuzzy subsets of a ternary semigroup are defined. Characterizations of regular ternary semigroups by the properties of the lower part of (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy left ...
