How Disease-Causing Parasite Gets Around Human Innate Immunity

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:31:00 +0100 | MSF News
The floods that first struck Pakistan on July 22, 2010 and subsequently devastated villages and communities across all provinces of Pakistan are leaving hundreds of thousands displaced and vulnerable. Affected communities and community-based organizations are responding quickly to the crisis. However, the needs are so high, that more than one month after the floods first arrived, too many people have received too little assistance. The response to date has taken place in a highly political environment and has been influenced by national and international political agendas. Some donor countries have openly mobilized support for this crisis based on their own national security interests. US Senator John Kerry has stated that “obviously there is a national security interest” in providing...

Two novel mastreviruses from chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Australia
Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:56:52 +0100 | Archives of Virology
Abstract Two novel mastreviruses (genus Mastrevirus; family Geminiviridae), with proposed names Chickpea chlorosis virus (CpCV) and Chickpea redleaf virus, are described from chickpea (Cicer arietinum) from eastern Australia. The viruses have genomes of 2,582 and 2,605 nucleotides, respectively, and share similar features and organisation with typical dicot-infecting mastreviruses. Two distinct strains of CpCV were suggested by phylogenetic analysis. Additionally, a partial mastrevirus Rep sequence from turnip weed (Rapistrum rugosum) indicated the presence of a distinct strain of Tobacco yellow dwarf virus (TYDV). In phylogenetic analyses, isolates of Bean yellow dwarf virus, Chickpea chlorotic dwarf Pakistan virus and Chickpea chlorotic dwarf Sudan virus from southern and no...
