The cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) is one of the most devastating pathogens of cotton. This malady, known as cotton blue disease, is widespread in South America where it causes huge crop losses. Recently the disease has been reported from India. We noticed occurrence of cotton blue disease and chickpea stunt disease in adjoining cotton and chickpea fields and got interested in knowing if these two viral diseases have some association. By genetic studies, we have shown here that CLRDV is very close to chickpea stunt disease associated virus (CpSDaV). We were successful in transmitting the CLRDV from cotton to chickpea. Our studies indicate that CpSDaV and CLRDV in India are possibly two different strains of the same virus. These findings would be helpful in managing these serious diseases by altering the cropping patterns.

The studies on the ecology of virus disease on Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris subsp. pekinensis) cultivated in alpine area of Kangwon province during summer season to analyse its influence on damage and develope a prediction model were performed from 1993 to 1997. Virus disease on Chinese cabbage occurring in the alpine area showed various symptom types and among there, necrotic spots and dwarf were mainly detected. The disease was increased from early August and continued mid September in every year. The occurrence of virus disease was the highest in 1994 with 20.5%, and the number of aphid vectors were also the highest during the same period. The number of aphids in the alpine areas showed twice peaks every year. For the analysis of damage by virus infection, the infection and injured ratio of all treatments were more than 90% and 80%, respectively. The most important factor for the occurrence of virus disease on Chinese cabbage was temperature. Factors influencing the development of the viral disease in the alpine area were maximum temperature and number of aphid vectors.

This study was done to detect the causative agent of patient with respiratory disease in Pusan, 1997. Male and female patients with respiratory disease in Pusan, 1997, were 31.9% and 68.1 ％, respectively. In the aspect of out-break by month, patients with respiratory disease were mostly concentrated at February, March, April, October, November and December. Fifteen strains of influenza virus were isolated from 1,268 swabbed samples of throat, and thirteen strains and 2 strains among 15 isolates were classified with influenza A and B virus, respectively. One of 13 influenza A virus was confirmed as A/Johannesburg/33/94- like strain, and the other isolates of influenza A virus were confirmed as A/sydney/05/97-like strains. Two isolates of influenza B virus were confirmed as B/Bei-jing/08/93-like strains.

To investigate serum neutralizing antibodies against Bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) virus, Akabane virus and Ibaraki virus in southern area of Chungnam province, Holstein sera were collected from April-May(269 heads /37 farms) and October-November (226 heads /35 farms), 1993. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. Bovine ephemeral fever.-antibody positive rates to BEF virus were 46.1% (124 heads /269 Holstein) in April-May and 53.9%(122 heads /226 Holstein) in October-November. 2. Akabane disease.-antibody positive rates to Akabne virus were 34.2％(92 heads /269 holstein) in April-May and 51.3%(116 heads /226 Holstein) in October-Novermber. 3. Ibaraki disease.-antibody positive rates to Ibaraki virus were 57.6%(155 heads /269 Holstein) in April -May and 38.5%(87 heads /226 Holstein) in October-November.

Infectious Bursal Disease is a severe viral disease of chicken responsible for serious economic losses to poultry farmers. The causative agent, Infectious Bursal Disease virus, is inhibited by nitric oxide. Root extract of the Indian ginseng, Withania somnifera, inhibits Infectious Bursal Disease virus in vitro. Also, Withania somnifera root extract is known to induce nitric oxide production in vitro. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to determine if the inhibitory activity of Withania somnifera against Infectious Bursal Disease virus was based on the production of nitric oxide. We show that besides other mechanisms, the inhibition of Infectious Bursal Disease virus by Withania somnifera involves the production of nitric oxide. Our results also highlight the paradoxical role of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of Infectious Bursal Disease.

Background: Fluorescent antibody virus neutralization (FAVN) test is a standard assay for quantifying rabies virus-neutralizing antibody (VNA) in serum. However, a safer rabies virus (RABV) should be used in the FAVN assay. There is a need for a new method that is economical and time-saving by eliminating the immunostaining step. Objectives: We aimed to improve the traditional FAVN method by rescuing and characterizing a new recombinant RABV expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP). Methods: A new recombinant RABV expressing GFP designated as ERAGS-GFP was rescued using a reverse genetic system. Immuno-fluorescence assay, peroxidase-linked assay, electron microscopy and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were performed to confirm the recombinant ERAGS-GFP virus as a RABV expressing the GFP gene. The safety of ERAGS-GFP was evaluated in 4-week-old mice. The rabies VNA titers were measured and compared with conventional FAVN and FAVN-GFP tests using VERO cells. Results: The virus propagated in VERO cells was confirmed as RABV expressing GFP. The ERAGS-GFP showed the highest titer (10^8.0 TCID₅₀/mL) in VERO cells at 5 days post-inoculation, and GFP expression persisted until passage 30. The body weight of 4-week-old mice inoculated intracranially with ERAGS-GFP continued to increase and the survival rate was 100%. In 62 dog sera, the FAVN-GFP result was significantly correlated with that of conventional FAVN (r = 0.95). Conclusions: We constructed ERAGS-GFP, which could replace the challenge virus standard-11 strain used in FAVN test.

참돔 이리도바이러스 질병(red seabream iridovirus disease ; RSIVD)은 1990년 일본 시코쿠지역의 참돔 양식장에서 처음 발병된 후, 매년 발병지역이 확산되고 발병 어종이 다양해지고 있다. 참돔에서 분리된 RSIV는 icosahedral cytoplasmic deoxyribovirus로서 크기가 200∼240nm이며 형태학적 특징에 의해 iridoviridae로. 분류하고 있지만, 어류를 숙주로 하는 iridovirus과 중에서 lymphocystis virus속인 flounder virus(LCDV-1) 및 lymphocystis disease virus(LCDV-2)와 goldfish virus 1-lke virus속인 goldfish virus 1(GFV-1) 및 goldfish virus 2(GFV-2)와는 전혀 다른 바이러스로 알려져 있다.

The dynamics of the virus-host interface in the response to respiratory virus infection is not well-understood; however, it is at this juncture that host immunity to infection evolves. Respiratory viruses have been shown to modulate the host response to gain a replication advantage through a variety of mechanisms. Viruses are parasites and must co-opt host genes for replication, and must interface with host cellular machinery to achieve an optimal balance between viral and cellular gene expression. Host cells have numerous strategies to resist infection, replication and virus spread, and only recently are we beginning to understand the network and pathways affected. The following is a short review article covering some of the studies associated with the Tripp laboratory that have addressed how respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) operates at the virus-host interface to affects immune outcome and disease pathogenesis.

Molecular analysis has been done for characterization of the interactions between three beet curly top virus (BCTV) strains and two Arabidopsis ecotypes in terms of virus inducible disease symptoms and infectivities. The total DNA was isolated from three tissues (shoot tips, infection origins and roots) of virus infected plants and this DNA was analyzed by quantitatively and qualitatively to elucidate virus movement and symptom development. CTV-Worland infected Col-O and Sei-O showed only symptom shown in hypersusceptible ecotype Sei-O by BCTV-worland was shoot tip stunting. Kinetics of virus DNA accumulation of three different viruses indicated that roots contained more virus DNA than shoot tips or infection origins, and that disease symptom severity was strongly correlated with virus DNA accumulation. These results suggest that the mild and Worland-specific symptoms shown in Sei-O by BCTV-worland are caused by the interactions of host factors provided by hypersusceptible ecotype and viral factors of mild strain.
