UNDERSTANDING POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS IN PORCINE REPRODUCTIVE AND RESPIRATORY SYNDROME VIRUS INFECTION

Understanding Post-Translational Modifications in Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Infection

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a highly contagious virus affecting pigs with significant impacts to the swine industry worldwide.This review provides a comprehensive understanding of post-translational modifications (PTMs) associated with PRRSV infection.We discuss the various types of PTMs, including phosphorylation

Adsorption of Oleate Anions on to Cationized Lignocelluloses

Oleic tyrone bracken acid and its salts are present among the toxic pollutants in olive oil mill wastewaters.Four lignocellulosic materials modified by grafting quaternary ammonium groups have been tested for the adsorption of the oleate anion from aqueous solutions, viz.cotton fibres, viscose fabric, wood sawdust and maize cob powder.As a result o

Inter- and intra-host sequence diversity reveal the emergence of viral variants during an overwintering epidemic caused by dengue virus serotype 2 in southern Taiwan.

Purifying selection during dengue viral infection has been suggested as the driving force of viral evolution and the higher complexity of the intra-host quasi-species is thought to offer an adaptive advantage for arboviruses as they cycle between arthropod and vertebrate hosts.However, very few studies have been performed to investigate the viral g
