Financial Express: Scientists have tripled the known types of viruses -- identifying over 15,000 distinct ones -- living in the world`s oceans, an advance that may be key to the efforts to protect the planet from global warming. Greenhouse gases threatening the environment could be mediated by these viruses through manipulation by scientists -- something that is at least a couple decades off, but will likely be necessary to manage climate change, researchers said. The study, led by Ohio State University in the...

Chewed plants help detect viruses in wild mountain gorillas, monkeys
2016-07-08 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Chewed bark, leaves and fruit discarded by mountain gorillas provide a simple way to test the endangered apes for viruses without disturbing them, according to scientists from the University of California, Davis, studying mountain gorillas and golden monkeys in East-Central Africa. The method is described in a study published recently in the American Journal of Primatology. The study is led by UC Davis' One Health Institute and Gorilla Doctors, a program led by the nonprofit Mountain Gorilla Veterinary...

Benign bacteria block mosquitoes from transmitting Zika, chikungunya viruses
2016-07-01 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have confirmed that a benign bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis can completely block transmission of Zika virus in Aedes aegypti, the mosquito species responsible for passing the virus to humans. Matthew Aliota, a scientist at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) and first author of the paper -- published today (July 1, 2016) in the journal Scientific Reports -- says the bacteria could present a "novel biological control mechanism,"...

Are there differences in survival among swine corona viruses in feed?
2016-05-02 22:33:00| National Hog Farmer
By Michaela P. Trudeau, Pedro E. Urriola and Gerald C. Shurson, University of Minnesota Department of Animal Science; Harsha Verma, Fernando Sampedro and Sagar M. Goyal, University of Minnesota Department of Veterinary Population Medicine No experiments had been conducted to compare survival kinetics of all three enteric swine coronaviruses simultaneously in feed and feed ingredients for swine. Until now. read more
