A number of viruses causing sexually transmissible diseases are transmitted via mammalian seminal plasma. Several components of seminal plasma have been shown to influence those viruses and their physiological impact. To unravel whether components of semin ...
Background: Kaposi's sarcoma, the most common AIDS-related cancer, represents a major public concern in resource-limited countries. Single nucleotide polymorphisms within the Interferon lambda 3/4 region (IFNL3/4) determine the expression, function of IFNL ...
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a convenient tool for monitoring virus concentrations in water and wastewater treatment trains, though it only informs about virus presence, but not infectivity. This limitation can be overcome if the relationship between infecti ...
The invention relates to virucidal compounds, virucidal compositions comprising thereof and uses thereof in treatment of viral infections, for sterilizations and for disinfections. ...
The invention relates to virucidal metallic nanoparticles, virucidal compositions comprising thereof and uses thereof in treatment and/or prevention of viral infections, for sterilizations and for disinfections. ...
Infectious diseases are a leading cause of death across the world. One of the primary causes of infectious diseases are viruses. Since liquids are highly important in the transmission of viruses, the aims of this work are to i) quantify the transfer of vir ...
Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) was recently found to be the most abundant RNA virus in human feces, and is a plant virus belonging to the genus Tobamovirus in the family Virgoviridae. When in human feces, it is of dietary origin from peppers and their pr ...
Indirect exposure to waterborne viruses increases risk of infection, especially amongst children with frequent hand-to-mouth contacts. Here, we quantified the transfer of one bacteriophage (MS2) and two enteric viruses (adenovirus and coxsackievirus) from ...
The implementation of multiplexed point-of-care biosensors is a top priority to address the current epidemic problems originated by widespread pathogenic infections, like those caused by viruses or bacteria. A rapid and accurate detection, identification, ...
