BmPLV-Z is the abbreviation for Bombyx mori parvo-like virus (China isolate).This is a novel virus with two single-stranded linear DNA molecules, viz., VD1 (6543 bp) and VD2 (6022 bp), which are encapsidated respectively into separate virions.Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of VD1-ORF4 indicated the existence of a putative DNA-polymeras
The effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) on Listeria monocytogenes, the indigenous microbiota and the shelf-life of chicken fillets was evaluated.Chicken fillets were inoculated with different inocula (2, 4, and 6 log CFU/g) of a 4-strain cocktail of L.monocytogenes, vacuum-packed, processed or not with HPP (500 MPa/10 min) and stored at 4
Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOP) provide structured frameworks for the systematic organization of research data and knowledge.The AOP framework follows a set of key principles that allow for broad application across diverse disciplines related to human health, including toxicology, pharmacology, virology and medical research.The COVID-19 pandemic eng
RationaleCOPD is characterized by chronic airway inflammation, small airways changes, with disappearance and obstruction, and also distal/alveolar destruction (emphysema).The chronology by which these three features evolve with altered mucosal immunity remains elusive.This study assessed the mucosal immune defense in human control and end-stage COP
