The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutant dl1403 contains a 2 kb deletion within the sequences encoding the immediate early polypeptide Vmw110. Previous experiments showed that although dl1403 exhibits normal patterns of gene expression following infection at an m.o.i. of 5 p.f.u./cell its growth and plaquing efficiency are impaired in low multiplicity infections, particularly in human foe...

In this paper‎, ‎we prove a multiplicity result for some biharmonic elliptic equation of Kirchhoff type and involving nonlinearities with critical exponential growth at infinity‎. ‎Using some variational arguments and exploiting the symmetries of the problem‎, ‎we establish a multiplicity result giving two nontrivial solutions‎.

BACKGROUND Multiplicity of infection (MOI) refers to the average number of distinct parasite genotypes concurrently infecting a patient. Although several studies have reported on MOI and the frequency of multiclonal infections in Plasmodium falciparum, there is limited data on Plasmodium vivax. Here, MOI and the frequency of multiclonal infections were studied in areas from South America where ...

Individuals living in endemic areas generally harbour multiple parasite strains. Multiplicity of infection (MOI) can be an indicator of immune status and transmission intensity. It has a potentially confounding effect on a number of population genetic analyses, which often assume isolates are clonal. Polymerase chain reaction-based approaches to estimate MOI can lack sensitivity. For example, i...

Background: Macrophages have important role in defense against Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 (HSV-1). The present study was performed to determine the viability and nitric oxide (NO) production by HSV-1 infected mouse peritoneal macrophages (HIM). Method: The viability of macrophages was evaluated using MTT reduction assay and the production of nitrite using Griess method. Results: The ability of...
