Phylogenetic analysis of buggy creek virus: Evidence for multiple clades in the Western Great Plains, United States of America

Article Abstract:

The first detailed phylogenetic analysis of Buggy Creek virus (BCRV), a poorly known alphavirus with transmission cycles involving a cimicid swallow bug (Oeciacus vicarius) vector and cliff swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonata) and house sparrows (Passer domesticus) as the principal avian hosts is presented. Phylogenic analysis indicated that BCRV falls into the western equine encephalomyelitis complex of alphaviruses, which is in agreement with antigenic results and a previous alphavirus phylogeny based on the E1 coding region.

Isolation and characterization of a novel antialgal allelochemical from Phragmites communis

Article Abstract:

Antialgal allelochemicals are isolated from Phragmites communis Tris. The isolated allelopathic fraction reveals strong activity on the growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Microcytis but had no inhibition on Chlorella vulgaris.
