Optimal methods of purification and concentration of teschevirus strain of the pigs of the first serotype "Chernigivsky-2372" have been chosen for development of the set of Teschen pig discase diagnosticums. It has been established that differential centrifugation with following ultracentrifugation in the gradient of saccharose density permits to deprive viruses from host cell proteins, empty virus capsides and defect virus particles. That is the method fit for purification of virus preparations for the solid-phase immunoenzyme analysis.

We identified seven distinct coronaviruses (CoVs) in bats from Brazil, classified into 229E-related (Alpha-CoV), Nobecovirus, Sarbecovirus, and Merbecovirus (Beta-CoV), including one closely related to MERS-like CoV with 82.8% genome coverage. To accomplish this, we screened 423 oral and rectal swabs from 16 different bat species using molecular assays, RNA sequencing, and evolutionary analysis.

Objective: To determine the frequency of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial isolates in respiratory specimens obtained from ventilated patients admitted to critical care units at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), along with COVID-19-positive cases.
Study Design: An observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, between November 2021 and March 2022.
Background: Kyasanur forest disease virus (KFDV) is a tick-borne flavivirus causing debilitating and potentially fatal disease in people in the Western Ghats region of India. The transmission cycle is complex, involving multiple vector and host species, but there are significant gaps in ecological knowledge. Empirical data on pathogen-vector-host interactions and incrimination have not been updated since the last century, despite significant local changes in land use and the expansion of KFD to new areas.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are among the leading vectors for in vivo gene therapy. The purification of AAV remains a bottleneck as it typically requires multiple individual process steps, often resulting in product loss and high costs. Current downstream processes are usually serotype-specific and rely primarily on expensive affinity resins.

Dogs can discriminate between people infected with SARS-CoV-2 from those uninfected, although their results vary depending on the settings in which they are exposed to infected individuals or samples of urine, sweat or saliva. This variability likely depends on the viral load of infected people, which may be closely associated with physiological changes in infected patients. Determining this viral load is challenging, and a practical approach is to use the cycle threshold (Ct) value of a RT-qPCR test.
