A virus that melts sea stars
http://www.virology.ws/2014/11/17/a-virus-that-melts-sea-stars
About viruses and viral disease. A virus that melts sea stars. Sea stars are lovely marine invertebrates with a round central body connected to multiple radiating legs ( photo credit. In the past year millions of sea stars in the west coast waters of North America have melted into piles of slime and ossicles. Sea star associated densovirus. Might be the cause of this lethal disease. Analysis of the DNA sequence data revealed the presence of a densovirus (a parvovirus) related to viruses found in Hawaiian...

Are viruses alive?
http://www.virology.ws/are-viruses-alive
About viruses and viral disease. The question of whether viruses are living or not always provokes lively discussion. On TWiV 59. We decided to take an informal poll of our listeners on this issue. Let’s open up the poll to readers of virology blog. This survey had been online since November 2009 and had collected several thousand responses. SurveyMonkey decided to delete all of those, so we are starting over as of January 2013, using a different survey site. They are something in between.

Permissive vaccines and viral virulence
http://www.virology.ws/2015/07/30/permissive-vaccines-and-viral-virulence
About viruses and viral disease. Permissive vaccines and viral virulence. A permissive vaccine prevents disease in the immunized host, but does not block virus infection. Would a permissive vaccine lead to the emergence of more virulent viruses? This long preamble is an introduction to a series of findings. A transmission experiment was done to determine if shed virus could infect other birds. The authors infected vaccinated or unvaccinated birds and asked if sentinel, unvaccinated chickens became in...

Infectious DNA clones
http://www.virology.ws/2009/02/12/infectious-dna-clones
About viruses and viral disease. The development of recombinant DNA methods by Cohen and Boyer. In 1973, together with the discovery of reverse transcriptase by Temin and Baltimore. In 1970, made it possible to introduce a mutation at any location in a viral genome. The essential reagent is an infectious DNA clone, a double-stranded DNA copy of the viral genome carried in a bacterial plasmid. These DNAs (or RNAs produced from them) can be introduced into cells by transfection. To produce infectious virus.

Transgenic pigs resistant to foot-and-mouth disease
http://www.virology.ws/2015/07/23/transgenic-pigs-resistant-to-foot-and-mouth-disease
About viruses and viral disease. Transgenic pigs resistant to foot-and-mouth disease. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infects cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and many wild species. The disease caused by this virus is a substantial problem for farmers because infected animals cannot be sold. Transgenic pigs have now been produced. Which express a short interfering RNA (siRNA) and consequently have reduced susceptibility to infection with FMDV. Even if transgenic siRNA pigs do...
