A recently introduced enzyme immunoassay procedure for antibodies against the hepatitis-C virus (HCV) was used to test samples from 185 cases with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 432 hospital controls. The anti-HCV results were examined in conjunction with previously reported data from this study
To seek patterns of nucleotide usage in the three types of circular subviral RNA pathogens, trimer frequencies and nearest-neighbor biases were studied in 12 plant viroid sequences; five sequences of circular plant viral satellite RNAs; and the sequence of RNA from the human hepatitis delta agent.
Seed-transmitted viruses have caused significant damage to watermelon crops in Korea in recent years, with cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) infection widespread as a result of infected seed lots. To determine the likely origin of CGMMV infection, we collected CGMMV isolates from watermelon
Rhabdoviruses are enveloped negative-sense RNA viruses that have numerous biotechnological applications. However, recovering plant rhabdoviruses from cDNA remains difficult due to technical difficulties such as the need for concurrent in planta expression of the viral genome together with the viral
Tomato black ring virus (TBRV, genus Nepovirus) infects a wide range of economically important plants such as tomato, potato, tobacco and cucumber. Here, a successful construction of infectious full-length cDNA clones of the TBRV genomic RNAs (RNA1 and RNA2) is reported for the first time. The
Lettuce chlorosis virus (LCV) is a single stranded, positive strand RNA virus that is solely transmitted by specific whitefly vectors (Bemisia tabaci biotypes A and B) but not by mechanical leaf-rub inoculation. The roles of viral encoded proteins involved in the infection cycle of LCV have not yet
The hairpin ribozyme belongs to the family of small catalytic RNAs that cleave RNA substrates in a reversible reaction that generates 2',3'-cyclic phosphate and 5'-hydroxyl termini. The hairpin catalytic motif was discovered in the negative strand of the tobacco ringspot virus satellite RNA, where
