A simple alphabetical classification is offered as a means to codify the proteins of rhabdoviruses, using vesicular stomatitis virus as the prototype.

The nucleotide composition of the ribonucleic acid of three strains of rabies virus was determined and found to be similar to that of vesicular stomatitis virus.

Vesicular stomatitis is usually a mild, self-limiting disease in the horse, characterized by oral vesicles, ulcers or crusting of the muzzle, and difficulty eating. Horses are commonly subclinically affected during outbreaks. The exposure of horses to vesicular stomatitis virus may occur in nonoutbreak years in areas where vesicular stomatitis is common.

LESSONS LEARNED The combination of everolimus and low-dose prednisone administered daily was hypothesized to prevent noninfectious pneumonitis (NIP) and mucositis, two common adverse events related to everolimus. Although mucositis was detected in only one case, all-grade NIP occurred in four of eight cases (50%), and this was considered enough to stop accrual of the study.These data suggest th...

Oncolytic viruses promise to significantly improve current cancer treatments through their tumor-selective replication and multimodal attack against cancer cells. However, one of the biggest setbacks for oncolytic virus therapy is the intravenous delivery of the virus, as it can be cleared from the bloodstream by neutralizing antibodies before it reaches the tumor cells. We have selected DNA ap...

AIM To examine the oral mucosa under the denture base and to determine the influence of local factors that contribute to denture stomatitis. METHODS In this prospective, case control study 30 patients with palatal inflammatory lesions were evaluated. A degree of palatal inflammation was scored. Swab samples were taken from tongue and palatal mucosa for microbiological examination. Denture pla...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to verify whether stratified epithelium-specific antinuclear antibodies are present in the sera of patients with erosive oral lichen planus and cutaneous lichen planus. METHODS We studied the pre-immune and immune serum of a rabbit immunized with a peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of the 70-kDa antigen chronic ulcerative stomatitis protein; sera from ...

The effect of migration among different isolated virus quasispecies populations on their adaptation and diversity was analysed through experimental evolution. An in vitro cell system was employed to simulate migration of vesicular stomatitis virus between isolated homogeneous host cell populations. The results clearly demonstrated a positive correlation between the migration rate and the magnit...

Phylogenetic analysis of partial phosphoprotein and glycoprotein gene sequences showed that a single genetic lineage of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) serotype New Jersey (NJ) caused the 1995 and 1997 outbreaks of vesicular stomatitis (VS) in the western United States. While distinct from VSV-NJ strains causing previous outbreaks in the western United States and those circulating in feral swi...

Abstract Background This review of relevant medicinal plants is based on the fundamental knowledge accumulated by indigenous people Ethiopia and to identify which types selected for phytochemical analysis were analyzed one not at Ethiopian levels. In this review, most traditional plant species found used in are chosen. Results The qualitative analysis, some important phytochemicals such as phen...
