| disease and the dynamics of extinction. | invading infectious diseases can, in theory, lead to the extinction of host populations, particularly if reservoir species are present or if disease transmission is frequency-dependent. the number of historic or prehistoric extinctions that can unequivocally be attributed to infectious disease is relatively small, but gathering firm evidence in retrospect is extremely difficult. amphibian chytridiomycosis and tasmanian devil facial tumour disease (dftd) are two very different infectious diseases ... | 0 | 22966138 |
| the emergence and spread of finch trichomonosis in the british isles. | finch trichomonosis, caused by the protozoal parasite trichomonas gallinae, was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of british passerines in 2005. the first year of seasonal epidemic mortality occurred in 2006 with significant declines of greenfinch carduelis chloris and chaffinch fringilla coelebs populations. here, we demonstrate that large-scale mortality, principally of greenfinch, continued in subsequent years, 2007-2009, with a shifting geographical distribution across the b ... | 0 | 22966140 |
| biodiversity loss decreases parasite diversity: theory and patterns. | past models have suggested host-parasite coextinction could lead to linear, or concave down relationships between free-living species richness and parasite richness. i explored several models for the relationship between parasite richness and biodiversity loss. life cycle complexity, low generality of parasites and sensitivity of hosts reduced the robustness of parasite species to the loss of free-living species diversity. food-web complexity and the ordering of extinctions altered these relatio ... | 0 | 22966137 |
| national and international policies to mitigate disease threats. | to devise and implement effective health policy, we must define the problem, choose the tools, craft the policy, build consensus, set goals and deadlines, raise funds and take action. success or failure depends on the perception of risk, the strength of the underlying science, the efficacy of the technology, ownership and intellectual property, the conflict between individual and public health, the choice of weaker (guidelines) and stronger (law) policy instruments, the level of public interest, ... | 0 | 22966144 |
| the tim and tam families of phosphatidylserine receptors mediate dengue virus entry. | dengue viruses (dvs) are responsible for the most medically relevant arboviral diseases. however, the molecular interactions mediating dv entry are poorly understood. we determined that tim and tam proteins, two receptor families that mediate the phosphatidylserine (ptdser)-dependent phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells, serve as dv entry factors. cells poorly susceptible to dv are robustly infected after ectopic expression of tim or tam receptors. conversely, dv infection of susceptible cells ... | 0 | 23084921 |
| oncolytic viruses & their specific targeting to tumour cells. | cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. in spite of achieving significant successes in medical sciences in the past few decades, the number of deaths due to cancer remains unchecked. the conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy have limited therapeutic index and a plethora of treatment related side effects. this situation has provided an impetus for search of novel therapeutic strategies that can selectively destroy the tumour cells, leaving the normal cells unharmed. viral oncot ... | 0 | 23168697 |
| satellite microwave remote sensing for environmental modeling of mosquito population dynamics. | environmental variability has important influences on mosquito life cycles and understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of mosquito populations is critical for mosquito control and vector-borne disease prevention. meteorological data used for model-based predictions of mosquito abundance and life cycle dynamics are typically acquired from ground-based weather stations; however, data availability and completeness are often limited by sparse networks and resource availability. in contrast, ... | 0 | 23049143 |
| infravec: research capacity for the implementation of genetic control of mosquitoes. | mosquitoes represent a major and global cause of human suffering due to the diseases they transmit. these include parasitic diseases, i.e. malaria and filariasis, and viral infections such as dengue, encephalitis, and yellow fever. the threat of mosquito-borne diseases is not limited to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. trade and climate changes have opened new niches to tropical vectors in temperate areas of the world, thus putting previously unaffected regions at risk of disease t ... | 0 | 24428829 |
| complement fixation with the neurotropic viruses. | antigens capable of fixing complement specifically with the appropriate antibodies have been prepared from brain tissue of hamsters and mice infected with the viruses of st. louis, japanese, western, and eastern encephalitis, and with the west nile virus. the antigens were freed of the material which reacts with normal serum by means of centrifugation at relatively high speed. in addition, the infectivity of the preparation was destroyed by irradiation with ultraviolet light. cross reactions wer ... | 1943 | 19871270 |
| immunological relationships among central nervous system viruses. | from observations carried out with the viruses of russian spring-summer encephalitis, louping ill, w.e.e., and the japanese b, st. louis, and west nile types of encephalitis, the following facts and inferences have been derived. 1. russian encephalitis and louping ill viruses showed a close relationship by complement fixation, neutralization, and intraperitoneal cross-resistance tests. intracerebral cross-resistance tests, on the other hand, failed to reveal any connection between them. neither ... | 1944 | 19871375 |
| interference between viruses in tissue culture. | the influence of one virus on the growth of another in tissue culture was investigated. the 17dd high strain of yellow fever virus was found capable of completely suppressing the growth of both the asibi strain of the same virus and of the heterologous west nile virus, even when these were added to the cultures in large amounts. the 17dd high strain of yellow fever virus and the west nile virus produced either partial or complete suppression of growth of the venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis v ... | 1946 | 19871525 |
| effect of in vitro cultivation on the pathogenicity of west nile virus. | the west nile virus was cultivated in suspended cell culture media employing several different tissue components, and it has been observed to survive in culture for at least 32 days. continued propagation of the virus in vitro resulted in a change in its pathogenicity. the change lay in a marked reduction or a complete loss of the ability of the virus to produce fatal infections in mice and in hamsters on peripheral inoculation, although there was no obvious simultaneous alteration in the lethal ... | 1946 | 19871562 |

| quantitative studies of the virus-host relationship in chimpanzees after inapparent infection with coxsackie viruses. ii. the development of complement-fixing antibodies. | eight chimpanzees were fed and/or inoculated with a single coxsackie (c) virus or combinations of different ones. the responses in terms of complement-fixing (c-f) antibodies to 6 to 10 such viruses were measured throughout periods of 1 to 2 years. although the animals usually responded with rises in homologous antibodies after the feeding or the inoculation of viruses of special immunological types, a variable number of heterologous c-f antibodies were observed to increase significantly at the ... | 1953 | 13052808 |
