The characterization and phylogenetic relationship of the trichoplusia ni single capsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus polyhedrin gene
Fielding, Burtram C.; Davison, Sean (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1999)The polyhedrin gene (polh) was identified from the Trichoplusia ni (Tni) single capsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (SNPV). An EcoRI fragment containing the truncated polyhedrin gene was detected by hybridization with an ... -
Development of molecular tools for honeybee virus research: the South African contribution
Davison, Sean; Leat, Neil; Benjeddou, Mongi (Academic Journals, 2003)Increasing knowledge of the association of honeybee viruses with other honeybee parasites, primarily the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, and their implication in the mass mortality of honeybee colonies has resulted ... -
The genetic organisation of a 2,966 basepair DNA fragment of a Single Capsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus isolated from Trichoplusia ni
Fielding, Burtram C.; Khan, Sehaam; Wang, Weizhou; Kruger, Courtney; Abrahams, Rayaana; Davison, Sean (Springer Verlag, 2002)In order to investiagte the genomic organization of the Trichoplusia ni Single Capsid Nucleoplyhedrovirus (TnSNPV) , a 2,966 base pairs (bp) genomic fragment was sequenced. The fragment was found to contain five open reading ... -
Genetic variation and population structure of Botswana populations as identified with AmpFLSTR Identifiler short tandem repeat (STR) loci
Tau, Tiroyamodim; Wally, Anthony; Fanie, Thokozile Patricia; Ngono, Goitseone Lorato; Mpoloka, Sununguko Wata; Davison, Sean; D’Amato, María Eugenia (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-07-28)Population structure was investigated in 990 Botswana individuals according to ethno-linguistics, Bantu and Khoisan, and geography (the nine administrative districts) using the Identifiler autosomal microsatellite markers. ... -
Identification and characterization of the Trichoplusia ni Single Capsid Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus p10 gene
Fielding, Burtram C.; Davison, Sean (Springer Verlag, 2000)The p10 gene was identified and characterized from the Trichoplusia ni single capsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (TniSNPV). The p10 open reading frame (ORF) sequence was identified following sequencing of the ends of the ... -
Identification, sequence analysis, and phylogeny of the immediate early gene 1 of the trichoplusia ni single nucleocapsid polyhedrosis virus
Wang, Weizhou; Leat, Neil; Fielding, Burtram C.; Davison, Sean (Springer Verlag, 2001)Substantial research has been conducted on the immediate early 1 (ie-1) genes from the prototype baculovirus Autographa californica multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) and the Orgyia pseudotsugata multicapsid ... -
Meat trade: need for international standardization?
D’Amato, María Eugenia; Davison, Sean; Corach, Daniel (Elsevier, 2013)Extensive substitution and undeclared species have been recently detected in meat products in South Africa, Europe and Asia. Here we review the methodologies utilized in the identification of species in red meat products ... -
Molecular genetic identification of skeletal remains of apartheid activists in South Africa
Davison, Sean; Benjeddou, Mongi; D'Amato, Maria Eugenia (Academic Journals, 2008)The Truth and Reconciliation Commission made significant progress in examining abuses committed during the apartheid era in South Africa. Despite information revealed by the commission, a large number of individuals ...
