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 Foot 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

Selection and Breeding of Suitable Crop Genotypes for Drought and Heat Periods in a Changing Climate: Which Morphological and Physiological Properties Should Be Considered?

Selection and breeding of genotypes with improved drought/heat tolerance become key issues in the course of global change with predicted increased frequency of droughts or heat waves.Several morphological and physiological plant traits must be considered.Rooting depth, root branching, nutrient acquisition, mycorrhization, nodulation in legumes and
