OMICRON (B.1.1.529): A new SARS‐CoV‐2 variant of concern mounting worldwide fearJournal of Medical Virology - Tập 94 Số 5 - Trang 1821-1824 - 2022
Vikram Thakur, Radha Kanta Ratho
AbstractRecent emergence of the SARS‐CoV‐2 variant as OMICRON has become a global concern. This short note highlights the identification and global spread of OMICRON which has spread over 77 nations by now, which resulted in many hypotheses about its origin and degree of infectivity. The detection of mutations in the RBD region of Spike protein is a concern by surp...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractFollowing the discovery of the SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron variant (B.1.1.529), the global COVID‐19 outbreak has resurfaced after appearing to be relentlessly spreading over the past 2 years. This new variant showed marked degree of mutation, compared with the previous SARS‐CoV‐2 variants. This study investigates the evolutionary links between Omicron variant and re...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractChikungunya virus (CHIKV) has recently re‐emerged causing millions of infections in countries around the Indian Ocean. While CHIKV has a broad host cell range and productively infects a number of different cell types, macrophages have been identified as a potential viral reservoir serving to increase the duration of symptoms. To date no CHIKV interacting pr...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is generally a relatively mild illness in children. An emerging disease entity coined as pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS‐CoV‐2 (PIMS‐TS) has been reported recently, but is very rare and only affects a very small minority of children. Here we describe the clinical presentations a...... hiện toàn bộ
Rapid detection of infectious cytomegalovirus in blood with the aid of monoclonal antibodiesJournal of Medical Virology - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 31-40 - 1987

AbstractThe recently developed early antigen immunofluorescence (IF) method for the detection of infectious cytomegalovirus (CMV) in clinical specimens has hardly been applied on blood samples. We compared the CMV early antigen detection technique with the conventional cell culture method in 415 different buffy coat samples from 85 different immunocompromised patie...... hiện toàn bộ
