| molecular characterisation of a field strain of bubaline herpesvirus isolated from buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) after pharmacological reactivation. | two healthy buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) in a herd which had not been vaccinated against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (ibr), were selected for their seropositivity for anti-bovine herpesvirus type 1 (bohv-1) glycoprotein e antibodies, and injected intramuscularly daily with dexamethasone for five consecutive days (day 1 to day 5) to reactivate any latent herpesvirus. blood samples and nasal and vaginal swabs were collected daily from day 5 to day 15 from each buffalo for virological examinat ... | 2004 | 14979671 |
| host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals. | the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ... | 2017 | 28636590 |
