SEROLOGICAL EVIDENCE AND EXPERIMENTAL INFECTION OF CYNOMOLGUS MACAQUES WITH PTEROPINE ORTHOREOVIRUS REVEAL MONKEYS AS POTENTIAL HOSTS FOR TRANSMISSION TO HUMANS

Serological evidence and experimental infection of cynomolgus macaques with pteropine orthoreovirus reveal monkeys as potential hosts for transmission to humans

Pteropine orthoreoviruses (PRV) are emerging bat-borne viruses with proven zoonotic transmission.We recently demonstrated human exposure to PRV in Singapore, which together with previous reports from Malaysia and Vietnam suggest that human infection of PRV may occur periodically in the region.This raises the question whether bats are the only sourc

Morphological and Cultural Characterization of some Strains of Unicellular Algae of the Genus Prototheca Sampled from Mastitic Cow Milk

Prototheca is a unicellular, achlorophillous, ubiquitary and saprophytic alga spread in the surrounding environment mostly in vastly damp locations in the presence of the organic matters.This is deemed to be pathogenic to a low degree, taking immediate advantage of the environment and triggering diseases at a time when the immunological capability

The Applications of Decision-Level Data Fusion Techniques in the Field of Multiuser Detection for DS-UWB Systems

In this paper, the decision-level data fusion techniques are extended to the multiuser detection (MUD) field.Then two novel MUD algorithms, that is the chairman arbitrating decision-level fusion criterion (CA-DFC) based MUD algorithm and the veto logic decision-level fusion criterion (VL-DFC) based MUD algorithm, are proposed for DS-UWB communicati
