Article Synopsis
- Mycoviruses are diverse viruses that can alter the characteristics of their fungal hosts, but there is a lack of detailed research on them.
- The proposed model focuses on a specific fungus known for its ease of study, wide distribution, and existing research resources, making it a prime candidate for exploring mycovirus interactions.
- By studying mycoviruses in this model, researchers aim to gain valuable insights that could benefit understanding of plant pathogens and enhance knowledge of virus-fungal interactions.
Article Synopsis
- * New Zealand has successfully developed integrated pest management (IPM) strategies over the past 20 years to combat GLD, focusing on ecosystem-based biological solutions and research specifically tailored to the country's grape production conditions.
- * The review outlines advancements in diagnosing GLRaV-3, studies on its vectors' ecology, and economic implications of disease management strategies, highlighting collaborative efforts of researchers and the New Zealand Winegrowers to effectively address GLD.
Article Synopsis
- In April 2023, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) approved changes to the phylum's classification during their annual vote.
- The update included the addition of one new family, 14 new genera, and 140 new species.
- Additionally, the taxonomy featured the renaming of two genera and 538 species, along with the removal of one species and the abolition of four others.
Background: To determine maternal and neonatal risk factors for, and incidence of, neonatal early-onset group B streptococcus (EOGBS) and late-onset (LOGBS) infection in South Australia (SA) and the Northern Territory (NT).
Methods: A case-control study with 2:1 matched controls to cases. The study included tertiary hospitals in South Australia and the Northern Territory, Australia.
Background: Caesarean birth at full cervical dilatation can be technically challenging and may be associated with increased risks of maternal and neonatal morbidity, often secondary to difficulties in delivering a deeply impacted fetal head. The Fetal Pillow is a device designed to elevate an impacted fetal head out of the pelvis and reduce birth trauma.
Aims: To evaluate birth outcomes following the introduction of the Fetal Pillow at a tertiary maternity hospital.
