tabanids as possible pathogen vectors in senegal (west africa).	species of the tabanidae are potent vectors of human and animal diseases, but they have not been thoroughly investigated to date. in senegal (west africa), little information is available on these dipterans. our objective in this study was to investigate senegalese tabanids and their diversity by using molecular and proteomics approaches, as well as their associated pathogens.	2020	33004069
transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 is expressed in the horizontal pathway of the vervet monkey retina.	the ubiquitous distribution of the classic endocannabinoid system (cannabinoid receptors cb1 and cb2) has been demonstrated within the monkey nervous system, including the retina. transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (trpv1) is a cannabinoid-like non-selective cation channel receptor that is present in the retina and binds to endovannilloids and endocannabinoids, like anandamide, 2-arachidonoylglycerol and n-arachidonoyl dopamine. retinal expression patterns of trpv1 are available for r ...	2020	32694518
transcriptomic analysis of cell-free fetal rna in the amniotic fluid of vervet monkeys (chlorocebus sabaeus).	nhp are important translational models for understanding the genomic underpinnings of growth, development, fetal programming, and predisposition to disease, with potential for the development of early health biomarkers. understanding how prenatal gene expression is linked to pre- and postnatal health and development requires methods for assessing the fetal transcriptome. here we used rnaseq methodology to analyze the expression of cell-free fetal rna in the amniotic fluid supernatant (afs) of ve ...	2020	31969210
in vitro activity of human recombinant alpha-2b interferon against sars-cov-2 virus.	the pandemic spread of a new coronavirus infection, covid-19, has caused a global emergency and attracted the attention of public health professionals and the population of all countries. a significant increase in the number of new cases of sars-cov-2 infection demonstrates the urgency of finding drugs effective against this pathogen.the aim of this work was to evaluate the in vitro antiviral efficacy of human recombinant alpha-2b interferon (ifn-α2b) against sars-cov-2 virus.	2021	33993682
time-course transcriptome analysis of host cell response to poxvirus infection using a dual long-read sequencing approach.	in this study, we applied two long-read sequencing (lrs) approaches, including single-molecule real-time and nanopore-based sequencing methods to investigate the time-lapse transcriptome patterns of host gene expression as a response to vaccinia virus infection. transcriptomes determined using short-read sequencing approaches are incomplete because these platforms are inefficient or fail to distinguish between polycistronic rnas, transcript isoforms, transcriptional start sites, as well as trans ...	2021	34167576
