  • So, we deployed some fairly fancy virus hunting methods to try to figure out what the cause of this outbreak was, and the answer was really surprising. (cdc.gov)
  • The first mechanism is budding , during which the virions take parts of the host cell's plasma membrane with them, forming the envelope that is common to many viruses. (mometrix.com)
  • Respiratory secretion or fecal clinical samples, or environmental samples collected from sewage or water sources, in which an accepted diagnostic test (e.g., virus isolation or polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) has identified the presence of an OPV/Sabin strain. (cdc.gov)
  • The GAP IV describes the safe handling requirements and community safeguards on the principles of a biorisk management system : the Biorisk Management Standard for Poliovirus-essential Facilities Holding Wild and/or Sabin/OPV Poliovirus Materials. (biosafety.be)
  • Respiratory secretion or fecal clinical samples, or environmental sewage or water samples, in which an accepted diagnostic test (e.g., virus isolation or polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) has identified the presence of WPV or VDPV. (cdc.gov)
  • The classic method for HEV serotypic identification requires virus isolation in susceptible cell cultures, followed by virus neutralization tests. (cdc.gov)
  • The first isolation of a virus was achieved in 1892 by Russian bacteria hunter Dimitri Iwanowski, who gathered fluid from diseased tobacco plants. (medcraveonline.com)
  • Some children who have received 12 doses of the oral vaccine have still come down with paralytic polio, possibly because intestinal infections common in the developing world may change the intestines, leaving fewer receptors for the oral vaccine to latch on to. (latimes.com)
  • Virus particles are carriers of genetic material from one cell to another. (basicmedicalkey.com)
  • As explained later, an important consequence of this observation (first made by Crick and Watson 56 even before a triplet code had been established) is that virus particles, or their substructures, are usually highly symmetric. (basicmedicalkey.com)
  • Negative staining, with uranyl acetate, potassium phosphotungstate, or related electron-dense compounds, gives somewhat more detailed images of isolated and purified virus particles. (basicmedicalkey.com)
  • This RNA carries genetic information to make new virus particles. (microbeonline.com)
  • Newly synthesized virus particles are released into the intestine and shed in the feces. (microbeonline.com)
  • Virus particles are invisible, about one millionth of an inch in diameter. (adventistreview.org)
  • Nevertheless, while Q44R led to recovery of viruses that maintained the mutation, Q44D resulted in selection of infective viruses with substitution D44E with acidic charge but with structural features similar to those of the parental virus, suggesting that Q44 is involved in functions other than 3A dimerization. (asm.org)
  • Let's take a look at the different stages that a virus goes through during the infective process. (mometrix.com)
  • These results strongly suggest that the 100-kDa band detected by antibody AF3 is, or is closely associated with, the poliovirus receptor site. (ncsu.edu)
