AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how macrophages react metabolically when infected by viruses with varying levels of virulence.
- A new index has been developed to measure the effects of viruses on macrophages in standardized units, improving the assessment of viral impact.
- High-sensitivity methods are recommended for accurately identifying viral reproduction and assessing the severe effects on macrophage morphology.
Article Abstract
The results of macrophage metabolism studies at their infection by viruses differing in the level of virulence are presented. With the purpose of optimizing the estimation of viral cytopathogenic effects on macrophages, an index of cell reactions, which allows one to reveal the degree of virus influence in standard units, is offered. Generally, the application of high-sensitivity methods for functional activity determination and identification of the correlative communication between its changes and morphological features of cells can be prescribed to objective identification methods of not only viral reproduction, but also differentiation of types and the degree of their cytopathogenic effects.

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has been revealed as a valuable approach against viral infections because of the fast therapeutic effect and low possibility of resistance development. The photodynamic inhibition of the infectivity of human herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strain Victoria at different stages of its reproduction was studied. PDI activity was determined on extracellular virions, on the stage of their adsorption to the Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cell line and inhibition of the viral replication stage by application of two tetra-methylpyridiloxy substituted gallium and zinc phthalocyanines (ZnPcMe and GaPcMe) upon 660 nm light exposure with a light-emitting diode (LED 660 nm).

Article Synopsis
- Camel contagious ecthyma is a viral skin disease that significantly impacts camels and leads to economic losses; this study focuses on identifying and analyzing the virus in Morocco, where it was found in 4 out of 15 affected camels.
- The research involved isolating the virus from skin crust samples and conducting various tests including PCR, which identified genetic similarities to the Ethiopian strain and allowed classification into two genetic clades: Asian and African lineages.
- This study marks the first detection of the virus in North Africa and highlights the virus's opportunistic infection tendencies linked to stress in the animals, suggesting the need for further research to assess its behavior and help in vaccine development.
