...t pathotypic and genetic characterizations of the pigeon paramyxovirus type I (PPMV-1) from pigeon in Egypt during 2014. Pathotyping, based on the mean death time (86 hours) in eggs and the intracerebral pathogenicity index (1.2), and the amino acid motif, (112KRQKR116), at the cleavage site of the fusion (F) protein indicated the emergence of PPMV-1 in Egypt. Phylogenetic analysis of the F and haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) genes indicated that the isolate...

Genetic variations within NP gene, and possibly in other proteins which are essentially mediating protective immunity, may explain the extreme infectious nature of the virus and its host-specific pathogenesis. Moreover, understanding the nature of such circulating field viruses is essential to underpin the e...

...on, to perform molecular characterization of the virus at the VP2 gene level, and to investigate genomic differences. FPLV DNA was detected in 7 (36.84%) of the stool samples collected from 19 cats with diarrhea and vomiting symptoms. Genotyping and phylogenetic analysis of the positive samples were performed. It was observed that five of the FPLV positive samples obtained were in the G3, one sample was in the G1, and one sample was in the CPV-2b group. FPV wa...

A total of 12 morphological parameters were recorded, of which 3 of them were qualitative characters: leaf colors, seed coat color, and seed shape. For quantitative trait, the maximum coefficient of variance (0.95%) was found in petiole length, biomass per plant (0.49%), and pod per plant (0.41%), whereas the minimum coefficient of variance showed by leaf width (0...

...ological and biochemical characterization as well as 16S rRNA sequencing identified FSN1 isolate as Citrobacter freundii. Drug sensitivity test showed the strain has multiple drug resistance and was only sensitive to a few antibiotics (doxycycline, tetracycline, minocycline and ciprofloxacin). PCR amplification of specific genes responsible for antibiotic resistance (extended-spectrum β-lactamases, quinolone resistance determinants and tetracycline-resist...

...APD markers. For genetic characterization of controlled and NaCl stressed plants, the extracted DNAs were subjected to RAPD markers, using PCR amplification. For this purpose a total of seven primers viz, OPH_01_F, OPH_01_R, OPH_01_RC, OPI_05_R, OPI_05_RC, OPG_10 and OPC_06 were used. PCR amplification was followed by gel electrophoresis (1.2% agarose gel) and visualized by UV light, which revealed the presence of monomorphic and polymorphic bands in the ampli...

...cused on the cloning and characterization of Cry1AB gene which expresses to produce crystal protein. Cry1AB gene was amplified using specific primers which gave successful PCR results of 3.5 kb long gene amplification. The amplified gene was further verified by inserting it into the expression vector. Furthermore, a computational approach was used to understand evolutionary relationships among Cry1AB gene and to identify conserved protein domains in Cry1AB pro...

They differ significantly from their congeners based on small size, completely separated pectoral spine from rays bearing 9–10 serrae along the inner edge and united anal-caudal fin. In Nepal, only one species of Heteropnuestes, i.e., H. fossilis has been reported. Based on the morphometric and meristic characteristics, this study reports the first-ever record of another species (H. nani) under the genus from ei...

A questionnaire was used to collect information about the risk factors associated with the occurrence of BCoV infection. BCoV infection was found in 3.5% (7/200) of calves using diagnostic screening kits and 3.0% (6/200) of calves using RT-PCR.

.... In contrast, molecular characterization has become an essential tool in comprehending the evolution of viruses. For studying the molecular level changes, 28 field isolates were collected from various regions in India and subjected to PCR for amplification, with sequencing of a partial region of the VP2 gene. Among these isolates, 27 samples were positive for CPV, of which one was CPV 2b while the remaining were CPV 2a, and one isolate was CPV negative. The o...
