To the Editor: Dengue infection is an endemic and epidemic urban disease (1), transmitted by infected Aedes mosquitoes. Its incidence is increasing in tropical and subtropical areas (1,2) because of 1) introduction of the virus into areas where it was not previously endemic, and 2) the spread of the 4 serotypes and the vector in disease-endemic areas (2,3). Infection with 1 serotype provides li...

It has been clear for a number of years that small DNA tumor viruses such as simian virus 40 (SV40) and papillomavirus interact with cell cycle control pathways during lytic replication in a way that promotes entry into the S phase of the cell cycle. Since these viruses do not code for their own DNA polymerase or other accessory factors that support DNA replication, this strategy is a means of ...

background: because dental staff members are in continuous contact with blood and contaminated fluids of patients, they are considered as a high risk group. their knowledge about standard precautions is thus important in preventing infectious diseases such as hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). the purpose of this study was to estimate the injuries that occur in dental staff and t...
