A NEUROTROPIC HERPESVIRUS INFECTING THE GASTROPOD, ABALONE, SHARES ANCESTRY WITH OYSTER HERPESVIRUS AND A HERPESVIRUS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AMPHIOXUS GENOME

Abstract Background With the exception of the oyster herpesvirus OsHV-1, all herpesviruses characterized thus far infect only vertebrates.Some cause neurological disease in their hosts, while others replicate or become latent in neurological tissues.Recently a new herpesvirus causing ganglioneuritis in abalone, a gastropod, was discovered.Molecular

Hydration reactions of samples made from skarn-type copper tailings, blast furnace slag, quartz sand, cement clinker and natural gypsum during the process of pre-curing, autoclaving and re-curing were investigated by strength testing, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy.The influences of calcium and silicon contents on the a

Forward genetics screens with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) provide a powerful way to illuminate gene function and generate mouse models of human disease; however, the identification of causative mutations remains a limiting step.Current strategies depend on conventional mapping, so the propagation of affected mice requires non-lethal screens; accura

In order to reduce the stress concentration in notched fiber Greeting metal laminate (FML) and improve its damage tolerance, the local reinforcement concept was employed in present paper.Two different reinforced structures were proposed by bonding titanium patch on single side or double sides of the standard glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminate
