Herpes zoster in infancy is very rare but can be developed following intrauterine or postnatal exposure to varicella zoster virus. We report a case of herpes zoster in a 4-month-old male infant. He had no prior history of primary varicella or varicella vaccination. His mother had no history of varicella infection and no contact history with varicella during pregnancy. He had a history of exposure to his father with herpes zoster 3 months ago, and to his cousin with convalescent chickenpox 2 months ago. Multinucleated, giant cells were shown on a Tzanck smear. He was treated with acyclovir and first generation cephalosporin for herpes zoster with Staphylococcal skin infection, with complete resolution without sequelae.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) stimulates the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-l) on the surface of monocytic THP-1 cells. Stimulation of ICAM-l did not require HCMV gene expression since UV-inactivated HCMV (UV-HCMV) was able to induce ICAM-l expression. ICAM-l expression was also stimulated in uninfected THP-l cells which were fed with culture supernatant of HCMV-infected THP-l cells. Co-culture experiment using trans-well insert supported that HCMV-infected THP-l cells secreted some cytokine(s) stimulating ICAM-l expression. The stimulation of ICAM-l by HCMV-infected cell culture supernatant appears to involve $NF-{\kappa}B$ pathway. Culture supernatant from THP-l cells infected with UV-HCMV, whose gene expression was abrogated, failed to stimulate ICAM-l expression on naive THP-l cells. Thus, HCMV gene expression seems to be required in secretion of cytokine(s) stimulating ICAM-l expression.

This study was conducted to obtain the virus free plants through meristem culture of carnation (Dianthus caryophillus). Four cultivars (Roland, Desio, Casha, Giant Gipsy) were collected for materials. The apical meristem 0.3-0.5mm in size was cultured on MS medium containing 3% sucrose, 0.9% agar at pH 5.8 with various plant growth regulators for 7 weeks. Among the cultivars, Giant Gipsy had a better response than other cultivars in shoot formation and reduced vitrification. Callus induction and shoot formation from the meristem culture were influenced by the various kinds of cytokine. Kinetin supplement was the most effective for shoot formation and NAA addition was good for callus induction among the treatments. Total 115 plantlets derived from apical meristem culture were checked for CarMV and CarRSV infection by ELISA test. Among them, 40 plantlets (34.8%) were infected with CarMV but not detected for CarRSV.

Copper is cost-effective and abundantly available as a biocidal coating agent for a wide range of material surfaces. Natural oxidation does not compromise the efficacy of copper, allowing it to maintain antimicrobial activity under prolonged exposure conditions. Furthermore, copper compounds exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against pathogenic yeast, both enveloped and non-enveloped types of viruses, as well as gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Contact killing of copper-coated surfaces causes the denaturation of proteins and damage to the cell membrane, leading to the release of essential components such as nucleotides and cytoplasm. Additionally, redox-active copper generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause permanent cell damage through enzyme deactivation and DNA destruction. Owing to its robust stability, copper has been utilized in diverse forms, such as nanoparticles, ions, composites, and alloys, resulting in the creation of various coating methods. This mini-review describes representative coating processes involving copper ions and copper oxides on various material surfaces, highlighting the antibacterial and antiviral properties associated with different oxidation states of copper.

In this study, a total of 217 samples were collected from five grapevine cultivars in Chungcheongbuk-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do in 2021. These samples were tested for the presence of five grapevine viruses using specific primers through polymerase chain reaction. The results indicated that grapevine fleck virus was confirmed in 126 samples (58.06%), grapevine leafroll-associated virus (GLRaV)-3 in 112 samples (51.61%) and GLRaV-1 in four samples (1.84%). The infection rate was high in Shine Muscat and Alexandria cultivars, and by region, the Gyeongbuk region showed a high infection rate. However, the presence of grapevine red blotch associated virus and grapevine berry inner necrosis virus were not detected.

Potato virus X was purified especially for the preparation of antisera for diagnosis and identification. Potato virus X was isolated Iron infected plants by means of indicator plants and identified in electron microscopy. Isolated PVX was multiplied in tomato plants and purified by a modified procedures. The purity of PVX was 0.59mg/m1. Purified PVX was injected into rabbits once a week for 5 weeks. Antiserum was collected 10 days after the last injection. Produced antiserum was determined 1/1024 titers by means of microprecipitin tests and showed sharp reactions in agar gel-diffusion tests.

We described a rapid, sensitive and reproducible real-time PCR assay for detection and quantitation of canine parvovirus type 2 in the feces of dogs with parvovirus infection. The method was demonstrated to be highly specific and sensitive, allowing a precise canine parvovirus type-2 quantitation over range of eight orders of magnitude from $10^2\;to\;10^9$ copies of standard DNA. Then, fecal samples from parvovirus infected dogs were analyzed by conventional PCR and real-time PCR. Real-time PCR is more sensitive than conventional PCR, allowing to detect low viral titers of CPV-2 in infected dogs. By real-time PCR, a wide range of parvovirus particles was found in the samples from $1.45\times10^6\;to\;9.45\times10^8$ copies/0.01g of feces. However, when dogs are in infection of parvovirus, it is difficult to prove that the numbers of peripheral blood leukocytes are correlated with those of fecal shedding virus.

Gelatin particle agglutination test (GPAT) was optimized for detection of Tobamovirus and contamination of the virus in commercial pepper seeds was evaluated. The optimum concentration of ${\gamma}$-globulin G, specific to tobacco mosaic virus pepper strain, was 100 ug/ml. The sensitivity of GPAT for the detection of Tobamovirus in pepper seeds was as high as enzyme-linked immunosorbent and dot immunoblotting assays. Optimum dilution ranges of the seed extract for GPAT was 5-25 folds. Using the optimized GPAT with above conditions, the rate of Tobamovirus contamination in seeds was turned out to be average of 79.1%.

A polymeric coating solution based on poly(acryloyl diphosphoric acid)(poly(ADP)) was prepared via a radical polymerization of acryloyl diphosphoric acid using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator in water at 70 $^{\circ}C$. The prepared polymeric coating solution exhibited significant antibacterial activity against salmonella typhimurium, pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli, and staphylococcus aureus. It also exhibited good antifungal activity against Asperigillus niger and good antiviral activity against the influenza (H1N1) virus. Additionally, it exhibited good flame retardant efficiency after applying it as a coating to a cotton fabric.
