VESICULAR STOMATITIS VIRUS [1 record]

Record 1 2006-09-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Non-Surgical Treatment
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
DEF

A rare virus that normally causes only minor flu-like infections in people, but has the ability to kill human cancer cells leaving non-cancerous cells intact. It sometimes infects cattle, causing temporary blisters on the lip such as cold sores, but does no lasting damage.

CONT

In the laboratory, the VSV has destroyed a wide variety of cancer cells: melanoma, lung, colon, breast and protate cancers and leukemia.

CONT

We have been studying effects on vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), an RNA virus, and on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a retrovirus. With VSV we have shown that transcription of the infecting RNA molecule, the primary transcription step, is inhibited, thus amplification of viral RNA is prevented.

DEF

Virus de la familia Rhabdoviridae, del género vesiculovirus, del que se reconocen dos serotipos [...] New Jersey (NJ) e Indiana (I), de acuerdo con el lugar de origen de los primeros aislamientos caracterizados inmunológicamente.

CONT

El virus infecta en forma natural a mamiferos domésticos y silvestres. [...] principalmente a cerdos, caballos y bovinos, produciendo vesículas y erosiones en la boca, rodete coronario y pezones, especialmente en vacas en producción.

La presencia del virus de la estomatitis vesicular (VEV), parece limitada al hemisferio occidental, especialmente a países que bordean el mar Caribe como México, Costa Rica, Colombia y Venezuela.
