Record 1 2025-02-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

Vaccine escape is the term used to describe the process of a virus mutating to form a variant that evades the immune response induced by vaccination. This process is rare, but occurrence depends on factors such as therapeutic targets and viral mutation rates.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Pour parler d’échappement vaccinal stricto sensu, il faut que l’infection survienne au moins deux semaines après l’administration de la deuxième dose d’un vaccin à ARNm. Rien de surprenant, puisqu’il n’a jamais été clamé que l’efficacité vaccinale était de 100 %. Plusieurs questions légitimes se posent néanmoins : Les patients "victimes" d’un échappement vaccinal présentent-ils des particularités communes? Quel est leur profil démographique et clinique ? Quel est le pronostic de la Covid-19 dans ce cas précis, notamment quand une hospitalisation est nécessaire ?

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Inmunología
CONT

Y precisamente esta capacidad de la variante delta para eludir la respuesta inmune, que se conoce como escape inmunológico o vacunal, facilita la transmisión del virus y hace más difícil la erradicación del COVID.

Record 4 2010-02-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
DEF

A virus which was recently isolated by which does not appear to be widespread. Rare viruses have a higher probability of someone becoming infected than "endangered" or "extinct" viruses, but are much less likely to be found than a "common virus. "

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité des TI
DEF

Virus récemment isolé (moins d'un an), mais qui ne semble pas très répandu. Les virus rares sont plus susceptibles d'infecter des systèmes que les virus «peu menaçants» ou les virus «disparus», mais ils ont moins de chance d'être détectés que les virus «courants».

Record 5 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.

OBS

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.
