Gene Cloning of Cucumber Mosaic Virus and Some Related Viral Agents 1.1 Introduction Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a typical member of the genus Cucumovirus. It has infected more than 1‚000 species of monocots and dicots‚ including many economically important crops (Palukaitis and García-Arenal‚ 2003; Palukaitis et al.‚ 1992). In China‚ CMV is commonly detected as the principal virus infecting field crops in the families Solanaceae (including tobacco‚ tomato‚ potato‚ pepper‚ etc.)‚ Brassicaceae

heparan sulfate proteoglycans/heparin sulfate play a major role in the binding process.19 After binding‚ through endocytosis the virus enters basal epithelial cells‚ and endosome/lysosome cause capsid disassembly. Next‚ the L2 protein facilitates transfer of the viral genome to nuclei of keratinocytes‚20 and with the help of early viral proteins (E1 and E2)‚ the virus maintains its episomal form and replicates in synchrony with host

Clinical manifestations of this disease include painful blistering eruptions on the skin. Herpes Zoster is caused by the Varicella Zoster Virus (HVZ) which has been dormant inside the sensory ganglia‚ often since the host’s childhood when the host was infected

1. EGG INOCULATION The fertile hen’s egg can be used to cultivate and propagate various types of viruses. Because of the ability to alter their tropism and to adapt to a new host species‚ many viruses become capable of growing in chick embryo tissues wherein they frequently attain a much higher concentration than in the tissues of the natural host. STRUCTURE OF AN EGG The extra-embryonic membranes of the chick embryo arise from three germinal layers: the endoderm‚ mesoderm and ectoderm

Re-emerging and emerging diseases especially those related to viruses all through history have comprised of the most feared plagues of the past. Although new infections continue to emerge today‚ many of the old plagues are still with us. (1) “Emerging” diseases can be defined as diseases / infections that have newly appeared in a population or have existed but are quickly increasing in geographic range or incidence. Among recent examples are Lyme disease‚ Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome‚ HIV/AIDS

inhaled irritants such as chemical fumes‚ allergens or smoke‚ acid reflux‚ chronic sinusitis‚ laryngeal cancer‚ excessive alcohol use or by smoking. If the Laryngitis is caused by a viral or bacterial infection‚ there is a chance that the certain virus or bacteria can be contagious. However‚ if the laryngitis is caused by something like overuse of the voice or laryngeal cancer‚ then it is not contagious.
