TL;DR: The RT-PCR procedure developed is rapid and sensitive, and could be used for the identification and HA-subtyping of avian influenza virus in organ homogenates.

TL;DR: It is suspected that these outbreaks of Newcastle disease in Taiwan have constituted the fourth panzootic of ND, which is distinct from the third panZootic caused by the "pigeon PMV-1 viruses."

TL;DR: The results suggested that both vaccine-like and vaccine-unlike ILT viruses were involved in the field outbreak of this disease, and that the PCR/RFLP procedure could serve as a fast and sensitive method for the detection and differentiation of vaccine strains and field isolates of ILT virus.

TL;DR: Adult and 4-5-week-old rabbits were inoculated subcutaneously with rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) and antibody titres increased rapidly from one week PI onwards, peaked at approximately three weeks of age, and were maintained throughout the length of the experiment.

TL;DR: Characterization of the recombinant PhoX of Pasteurella multocida X-73 showed that it is a monomeric enzyme, activated by Ca(2+) and possibly secreted by the Tat pathway, and homologous sequences between Pho X and the phosphotriesterase and on the potential calcium-binding site of PhoZ are identified.
