Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) exists in natural foci, which are areas where TBEV is circulating among its vectors (ticks of different species and genera) and reservoir hosts (usually rodents and small mammals). Based on phylogenetic studies, four TBEV subtypes (Far-Eastern, Siberian, European, Baikalian) and two putative subtypes (Himalayan and “178-79” group) are known. Within each subtype, some genetic lineages are described. The European subtype (TBEV-EU) (formerly known also as the “Western subtype”) of TBEV is prevalent in Europe, but it was also isolated in Western and Eastern Siberia in Russia and South Korea. The Far-Eastern subtype (TBEV-FE) was preferably found in the territory of the far-eastern part of Eurasia, but some strains were isolated in other regions of Eurasia. The Siberian (TBEV-SIB) subtype is the most common and has been found in almost all TBEV habitat areas. The Baikalian subtype is prevalent around Lake Baikal and was isolated several times from ticks and rodents. In addition to the four TBEV subtypes, one single isolate of TBEV (178-79) and two genetic sequences (Himalayan) supposed to be new TBEV subtypes were described in Eastern Siberia and China. The data on TBEV seroprevalence in humans and animals can serve as an indication for the presence or absence of TBEV in studied area.

Hydrated iron(III) oxides were obtained by discontinuous precipitation of an iron(II) sulfate solution with aqueous ammonium - saturated with carbon dioxide to different CO2/NH3 ratios. An additional thermal treatment of these oxides, under different conditions, provided genetic sequences of intermediates and their final products - catalysts on a Fe2O3/K2O basis, with different promoters. The catalysts were studied by means of the microstructural; analysis, thermogravimetry, DTA, IR spectroscopy and further tested by the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene. It was observed that by changing the CO2/NH3 ratio in the precipitation of the initial solutions one can influence some of the properties, as well as, the morphology and thermal stability of the initial intermediates of the preparation of the catalysts. The above mentioned properties become practically unified with the increasing number of the heat treatment operations, with all the investigated catalysts - with the exception of the catalysts' behaviour during their reduction with hydrogen. The presence of iron oxides in various valency states and the different phase composition of the catalysts during their reduction affect the final activity and selectivity of the catalyst in the reaction under the study.

Abstract Background Mathematical approaches have been for decades used to probe the structure of DNA sequences. This has led to the development of Bioinformatics. In this exploratory work, a novel mathematical method is applied to probe the DNA structure of two related viral families: those of coronaviruses and those of influenza viruses. The coronaviruses are SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS. The influenza viruses include H1N1-1918, H1N1-2009, H2N2-1957, and H3N2-1968. Methods The mathematical method used is the slow feature analysis (SFA), a rather new but promising method to delineate complex structure in DNA sequences. Results The analysis indicates that the DNA sequences exhibit an elaborate and convoluted structure akin to complex networks. We define a measure of complexity and show that each DNA sequence exhibits a certain degree of complexity within itself, while at the same time there exists complex inter-relationships between the sequences within a family and between the two families. From these relationships, we find evidence, especially for the coronavirus family, that increasing complexity in a sequence is associated with higher transmission rate but with lower mortality. Conclusions The complexity measure defined here may hold a promise and could become a useful tool in the prediction of transmission and mortality rates in future new viral strains.

Novel Method

The methods of immunolabeling make visible the presence of specific antigens, proteins, genetic sequences, or functions of a cell. In this paper we present examples of imaging immunolabels in a scanning transmission x-ray microscope using the novel method of dark-field contrast. Colloidal gold, or silver-enhanced colloidal gold, is used as a label, which strongly scatters x-rays. This leads to a high-contrast dark-field image of the label and reduced radiation dose to the specimen. The x-ray images are compared with electron micrographs of the same labeled, unsectioned, whole cell. It is verified that the dark-field x-ray signal is primarily due to the label and the bright-field x-ray signal, showing absorption due to carbon, is largely unaffected by the label. The label can be well visualized even when it is embedded in or laying behind dense material, such as the cell nucleus. The resolution of the images is measured to be 60 nm, without the need for computer processing. This figure includes the x-ray microscope resolution and the accuracy of the label positioning. The technique should be particularly useful for the study of relatively thick (up to 10 μm), wet, or frozen hydrated specimens.

Dna Sequencing Analysis

The organization of the human c-fms proto-oncogene has been determined and compared with an abnormal allele. The human v-fms homologous genetic sequences are dispersed discontinuously and colinearly with the viral oncogene over a DNA region of ca. 32 kilobase pairs. The abnormal c-fms locus contains a small deletion in its 3' portion. DNA sequencing analysis indicated that it was 426 base pairs in size and located in close proximity to a putative c-fms exon.

Research indicates that certain yeast strains are beneficial in their capacity to stimulate key microbial populations. This stimulation is strain specific with similar yeast strains exerting their effect on totally different microbial populations. Future yeast culture supplements may contain mixtures of different strains designed to suit specific diets. This, therefore, requires the development of a rapid sensitive technique to differentiate among taxonomically similar yeast strains in animal diets. This technique, termed the Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay, is based upon the use of randomly designed short polynucleotide primers to amplify genetic sequences from the DNA of the desired yeast strain. Our objective involves the development of this technique to distinguish between closely related yeast strains present in feed. The feed sample investigated was a standard cattle ration containing three strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1026, 2045 and 2020) and Candida utilis 3001 at a concentration of 106 CFU/g respectively. Isolation of single colonies of yeast strains present was achieved by feed extraction in dilution buffer followed by plating a series of dilutions on rose-bengal agar. Thirty randomly selected colonies were cultured in YPD (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% glucose) broth for 24 - 30 hours at 30°C. Genomic DNA was isolated from yeast cells by standard methods based on subjection of the cells to vortex mixing in the presence of glass beads, triton X-100, sodium dodecyl sulphate, phenol and chloroform. Isolated DNA from randomly selected colonies was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for 45 cycles of 1 min at 94°C, 1 min at 36°C and 1 min at 72°C using randomly designed 10 bp primers.
