The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes (Culex and Culiseta). SINV is linked to Pogosta disease [3] , Ockelbo disease and Karelian fever . In humans, the symptoms include arthralgia, rash and malaise. Sindbis virus is widely and continuously found in insects and vertebrates in Eurasia, Africa, and Oceania.
Tobacco mosaic virus has been known to cause a production loss for flue cured tobacco of up to two percent in North Carolina. [33] It is known to infect members of nine plant families, and at least 125 individual species, including tobacco, tomato , pepper (all members of the Solanaceae ), cucumbers , a number of ornamental flowers , [ 34 ] and ...
The BK virus, also known as Human polyomavirus 1, is a member of the polyomavirus family. Past infection with the BK virus is widespread, [1] but significant consequences of infection are uncommon, with the exception of the immunocompromised and the immunosuppressed. BK virus is an abbreviation of the name of the first patient, from whom the ...
Infectious bursal disease (IBD), also known as Gumboro disease, infectious bursitis, and infectious avian nephrosis, is a highly contagious disease of young chickens and turkeys caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), [1] characterized by immunosuppression and mortality generally at 3 to 6 weeks of age.
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a plant pathogenic virus [1] in the family Bromoviridae. [2] This virus has a worldwide distribution and a very wide host range, [3] having the reputation of the widest host range of any known plant virus. [4] It can be transmitted from plant to plant both mechanically by sap and by aphids in a stylet-borne fashion.
Virus tropism refers to the virus' preferential site of replication in discrete cell types within an organ. In most cases, tropism is determined by the ability of the viral surface proteins to fuse or bind to surface receptors of specific target cells to establish infection.
Echovirus is a polyphyletic group of viruses associated with enteric disease in humans. The name is derived from "enteric cytopathic human orphan virus".These viruses were originally not associated with disease, but many have since been identified as disease-causing agents.
Since the target virus is eradicated the efficacy could not be directly verified but was inferred via proxy, animal survival following infection by related species of Orthopoxvirus. In contrast, safety data was available from trials of the drug in treating Cytomegalovirus infections in humans.
