The zoonotic pathogen can cause septicemia and meningitis in humans. We report five complete genomes of serotype 2 and serotype 9, covering the complete phylogeny of serotype 9 Dutch porcine isolates and zoonotic isolates. The isolates include the model strain S10 and the Dutch emerging zoonotic lineage.

Background: Sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) is the most common form of dementia, characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function and, cortical and hippocampal atrophy. Our objective is to develop neuroprotective therapies that promote the homeostatic and modulatory properties of astrocytes, and enhance their protective functions. Glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has emerged as a promising factor for its ability to promote neuronal survival and function.

The standard dengue virus (DENV) neutralization assay inconsistently predicts dengue protection. We compare how IgG ELISA, envelope domain III (EDIII), or non-structural protein 1 (NS1) binding antibodies, and titers from plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNTs) using standard and mature viruses are associated with dengue. The ELISA measures IgG antibodies that bind to inactivated DENV1-4.

Purpose: To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of enhanced expression of endogenous macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) on cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.
Methods: A recombinant double-stranded adeno-associated virus serotype 9 with MIF or green fluorescent protein (GFP) genes (dsAAV9-MIF/GFP) was transduced into mice and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs). The models of cardiac 60 min ischemia and 24 h reperfusion and 12 h hypoxia/12 h reoxygenation (H/R) were established in mice and NRVMs, respectively.

Haemophilus influenzae serotype A is a rare cause of meningitis and invasive disease in pediatric patients. A six-month-old infant presented to the emergency room with fever, cough and nasal drip. On admission, the infant was alert and hemodynamically stable but progressively became more lethargic with bulging of the fontanelle.
