It is unclear why disease occurs in only a small proportion of persons carrying common risk
alleles of disease susceptibility genes. Here we demonstrate that an interaction between a …

Small RNA viruses have evolved many mechanisms to increase the capacity of their short
genomes. Here we describe the identification and characterization of a novel open reading …

The phenotype of genetically engineered mice is a combination of both genetic and
environmental factors that include the microflora of the mouse. The impact a particular …

Murine noroviruses (MNVs) are highly prevalent in laboratory mice, can cause persistent
infections, and have been shown to infect macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells. To …

Spodoptera exigua microarray was used to determine genes differentially expressed in S.
exigua cells challenged with the species-specific baculovirus SeMNPV as well as with a …

The novel human coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-
CoV-2) has caused a pandemic. Critical to the rapid evaluation of vaccines and antivirals …

Bacterial diseases can occur as a result of disruption of the intestinal microbial population in
the silkworm, Bombyx mori, and are often induced by bidensovirus (BmBDV) infection. We …

A one-step SYBR Green I real-time RT-PCR assay was developed for the detection and
quantification of a broad range of murine noroviruses (MNVs). The primer design was based …

The murine norovirus (MNV) is a recently discovered mouse pathogen, representing the
most common contaminant in laboratory mouse colonies. Nevertheless, the effects of MNV …

Noroviruses (NoVs) are highly prevalent, positive-sense RNA viruses that infect a range of
mammals, including humans and mice. Murine noroviruses (MuNoVs) are the most …
