Use of touch-down polymerase chain reaction to enhance the sensitivity of Mycobacterium bovis detection
(Sage Publications, 2005-05)The confirmatory diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) in animal samples is carried out by culture in Stonebrink media. However, culture is very slow because of the extremely long duplication time of the bacillus and ... -
Sequence analysis of genome segments S5 and S10 of Mal de Río Cuarto virus (Fijivirus, Reoviridae)
(Springer, 2005-06)Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV) was recently described as a new species of the genus Fijivirus, family Reoviridae. The nucleotide sequence of two MRCV genome segments was determined. MRCV S5 and S10 were predicted to encode ... -
Variation in the VP1 Gene of Foot-And-Mouth Disease Virus Serotype a Associated with Epidemiological Characteristics of Outbreaks in the 2001 Epizootic in Argentina

Overexpression of snakin-1 gene enhances resistance to Rhizoctonia solani and Erwinia carotovora in transgenic potato plants
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-05)Snakin‐1 (SN1), a cysteine‐rich peptide with broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity in vitro, was evaluated for its ability to confer resistance to pathogens in transgenic potatoes. Genetic variants of this gene were cloned ... -
A candidate gene survey of quantitative trait loci affecting chemical composition in tomato fruit
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2008-07)In tomato, numerous wild-related species have been demonstrated to be untapped sources of valuable genetic variability, including pathogen-resistance genes, nutritional, and industrial quality traits. From a collection of ... -
Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV) genomic segment S3 codes for the major core capsid protein
(Springer, 2009-06)Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV) is a newly described species of the genus Fijivirus, family Reoviridae. Compared with other plant-infecting genus of the family, the function and localization of MRCV and other Fijivirus ... -
Virus infection elevates transcriptional activity of miR164a promoter in plants
(BioMed Central, 2009-12)Background: Micro RNAs (miRs) constitute a large group of endogenous small RNAs that have crucial roles in many important plant functions. Virus infection and transgenic expression of viral proteins alter accumulation and ... -
Developments in plant-based vaccines against diseases of concern in developing countries
(BENTHAM Open, 2010)Vaccination has been extensively used to prevent, eradicate and control infectious diseases. However, the development and implementation of new vaccines remains prohibitively expensive for middle and low income countries where ... -
Differences in the virulence of two strains of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Serotype A with the same spatiotemporal distribution
(Elsevier, 2010-01)During the 2000–2001 epidemic of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) in Argentina, two FMDV serotype A viruses were identified among others. Since different pathogenic properties between these virus strains were noticed ... -
Trans-complementation of polyhedrin by a stably transformed Sf9 insect cell line allows occ− baculovirus occlusion and larval per os infectivity
(Elsevier, 2010-01-15)Oral infection of insect larvae with baculovirus is an advantageous methodology for producing high levels of recombinant proteins and for achieving plague control. However, many recombinant baculoviruses express a foreign ... -
Preparation of a working seed lot of BCG and quality control by PCR genotyping
(Asociación Argentina de Microbiología, 2010-04)The bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) was obtained in 1920 after successive passages leading to the attenuation of a Mycobacterium bovis strain. For the following 40 years, BCG had been replicated, resulting in substrains ... -
Identification of four novel DC-SIGN ligands on Mycobacterium bovis BCG
(Springer, 2010-09)Dendritic-cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN; CD209) has an important role in mediating adherence of Mycobacteria species, including M. tuberculosis and M. bovis BCG to human ... -
Functional and biochemical properties of Mal de Río Cuarto virus (Fijivirus, Reoviridae) P9-1 viroplasm protein show further similarities to animal reovirus counterparts
(Elsevier, 2010-09)Mal de Río Cuarto virus (MRCV) is a plant virus of the genus Fijivirus within the family Reoviridae that infects several monocotyledonous species and is transmitted by planthoppers in a persistent and propagative manner. ... -
Isolation and characterization of the tissue and development-specific potato snakin-1 promoter inducible by temperature and wounding
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, 2010-09)Snakin-1 (StSN1) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide isolated from Solanum tuberosum. Homologous proteins have been identified in a wide range of species but there is no apparent consensus in the roles they play. A ... -
Coupling virus-induced gene silencing to exogenous green fluorescence protein expression provides a highly efficient system for functional genomics in arabidopsis and across all stages of tomato fruit development
