AI Article Synopsis

  • Global climate change and international trade are increasing the risk of introducing new plant viruses across borders, as seen in the case of Ixora coccinea showing virus-like symptoms.
  • The Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION platform was used to identify jasmine virus H (JaVH), revealing a complete genome sequence that closely resembles a variant found in Jasminum sambac from China.
  • This study marks the first reported natural infection of Ixora coccinea by JaVH and highlights the effectiveness of rapid nanopore sequencing for accurate plant virus detection and surveillance.

Article Abstract

The global climate change and international trade have facilitated the movement of plants across borders, increasing the risk of introducing novel plant viruses in new territories. Ixora coccinea exhibited virus-like foliar symptoms, including mosaic and mild mottle. An Oxford Nanopore Technologies-based compact and portable MinION platform was used to identify the causal viral pathogen. The complete genome sequence of jasmine virus H (JaVH; 3867 nt, JaVH-CNU) was determined and found to share 88.4-90.3% nucleotide identity with that of Jasminum sambac JaVH isolate in China. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete amino acid sequences of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and coat protein revealed that JaVH-CNU was grouped separately with other JaVH isolates. This is the first report of a natural JaVH infection of >i<I. coccinea. The application of rapid nanopore sequencing for plant virus identification was demonstrated and is expected to provide accurate and rapid diagnosis for virus surveillance.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Jasminum polyanthum nepovirus 1 (JPV1), a novel virus associated with foliar ringspot symptoms in Jasminum polyanthum (Oleaceae). The genome of JPV1 consists of RNA1 and RNA2, both of which are monocistronic and are 7081 nt and 4212 nt in length, respectively. RNA1 encodes six functional proteins, including the X1 protein, X2 protein, NTP-binding protein (NTB), VPg protein, protease cofactor (Pro), and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), while RNA2 encodes three functional proteins: the 2A protein, movement protein (MP), and capsid protein (CP).

Introduction: This paper presents a multichannel deep-learning method for detecting lung diseases using chest X-ray images. Using EfficientNetB0 through EfficientNetB7 pretrained models, the methodology offers improved performance in classifying COVID-19, viral pneumonia, and normal chest Xrays.

Methods: The EfficientNetB2 model was customized by incorporating Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) blocks and the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to improve the model's attention mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) led to a significant rise in health care visits in the U.S., especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which boosted the use of virtual care for these issues.* -
  • A study analyzing over 1.2 million UTI encounters from 2015 to 2022 found a 325.9% increase in UTI visits, predominantly through virtual consultations, particularly among adult females.* -
  • The research noted that while antibiotic prescriptions rose, they outpaced the rate of confirmed positive urine cultures, indicating a trend towards more empirical antibiotic use and emphasizing the need for better guidelines to balance telemedicine with proper antibiotic stewardship.*

Background: Recent evidence suggests that some flavonoid compounds obtained from crude methanol extract of mistletoe leaves ( ), also known as Benalu Duku (BD), have antimicrobial effects. Thus, the plant has the potential to eliminate viruses that may cause outbreaks in chicken farms. This study aimed to prove the ability of flavonoid compounds, namely quercetin-like compounds (QLCs), to eliminate field viruses, specifically the Newcastle disease virus (NDV).
