Temporal and geographic evidence for evolution of Sin Nombre virus using molecular analyses of viral RNA from Colorado, New Mexico and Montana (2009)

Black, William C, Doty, Jeffrey B, Hughes, Mark T, Beaty, Barry J, Calisher, Charles H

Abstract Background All viruses in the family Bunyaviridae possess a tripartite genome, consisting of a small, a medium, and a large RNA segment. Bunyaviruses therefore possess considerable...

Potential for La Crosse virus segment reassortment in nature (2008)

Reese, Sara M, Blitvich, Bradley J, Blair, Carol D, Geske, Dave, Beaty, Barry J, Black, William C

Abstract The evolutionary success of La Crosse virus (LACV, family Bunyaviridae ) is due to its ability to adapt to changing conditions through intramolecular genetic changes and segment...

A High Performance Low Power Filter CMOS Channel (2008)

William C. Black, David J. Allstot, A. Reed

Abstract-A new CMOS PCM channel fiiter is described, which includes transmit and receive filters on a single die. This chip displays an idle-channel noise of typically O dBrnCO, a POWeIsupply...

Comparative genomics of small RNA regulatory pathway components in vector mosquitoes (2008)

Campbell, Corey L, Black, William C, Hess, Ann M, Foy, Brian D

Abstract Background Small RNA regulatory pathways (SRRPs) control key aspects of development and anti-viral defense in metazoans. Members of the Argonaute family of catalytic enzymes degrade target...

A dengue receptor as possible genetic marker of vector competence in Aedes aegypti (2008)

Mercado-Curiel, Ricardo F, Black, William C, Muñoz, Maria De L

Abstract Background Vector competence refers to the intrinsic permissiveness of an arthropod vector for infection, replication and transmission of a virus. Notwithstanding studies of Quantitative...

Infection and Pathogenicity of the Mosquito Densoviruses AeDNV, HeDNV, and APeDNV in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) (2004)

Jeremy P. Ledermann, William C. Black, Jonathan O. Carlson

These studies compared three genetically distinct mosquito densoviruses Aedes aegypti (AeDNV), Hemagogus equinus (HeDNV), and Aedes Peruvian (APeDNV) densoviruses in a laboratory investigation to...

All-Cause Mortality in Randomized Trials of Cancer Screening (2002)

Black, William C., Haggstrom, David A., Gilbert Welch, H.

Background: The most widely accepted end point in randomized cancer screening trials is disease-specific mortality. The validity of this end point, however, rests on the assumption that cause of...

Are Deaths Within 1 Month of Cancer-Directed Surgery Attributed to Cancer? (2002)

Welch, H. Gilbert, Black, William C.

Background: Cancer mortality should include not only deaths from cancer but also deaths from cancer treatment. By convention, deaths within 30 days of a surgical procedure are considered...

Perceptions of Breast Cancer Risk and Screening Effectiveness in Women Younger Than 50 Years of Age (1995)

Black, William C., Nease, Robert F., Tosteson, Anna N. A.

Background:The National Cancer Institute has recently changed its approach and has substituted summary-of-evidence statements for specific recommendations for breast cancer screening in women 40–50...

Strategic Orientation and Marketing Strategy: An Analysis of Residential Real Estate Brokerage Firms

Marsha L. Richins, William C. Black, C.F. Sirmans

This article analyzes marketing strategy concepts as they apply to real estate brokerage firms and reports an empirical investigation of marketing strategies of firms in a local market. Firms...

Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping of Genome Regions Controlling Permethrin Resistance in the Mosquito Aedes aegypti

Saavedra-Rodriguez, Karla, Strode, Clare, Flores Suarez, Adriana, Fernandez Salas, Ildefonso, Ranson, Hilary, Hemingway, Janet, ...

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of dengue and yellow fever flaviviruses. Permethrin is an insecticide used to suppress Ae. aegypti adult populations but metabolic and target site...

Potential for La Crosse virus segment reassortment in nature

Reese, Sara M, Blitvich, Bradley J, Blair, Carol D, Geske, Dave, Beaty, Barry J, Black, William C

The evolutionary success of La Crosse virus (LACV, family Bunyaviridae) is due to its ability to adapt to changing conditions through intramolecular genetic changes and segment reassortment. Vertical...

Gene Flow, Subspecies Composition, and Dengue Virus-2 Susceptibility among Aedes aegypti Collections in Senegal

Sylla, Massamba, Bosio, Christopher, Urdaneta-Marquez, Ludmel, Ndiaye, Mady, Black, William C.

We conducted a population genetic study with 1,040 Aedes aegypti sensu latu (s.l.) collected from 19 sites distributed across the five phytogeographic regions of Senegal. Adult mosquitoes without...

The Neovolcanic Axis Is a Barrier to Gene Flow among Aedes aegypti Populations in Mexico That Differ in Vector Competence for Dengue 2 Virus

Lozano-Fuentes, Saul, Fernandez-Salas, Ildefonso, De Lourdes Munoz, Maria, Garcia-Rejon, Julian, Olson, Ken E., Beaty, Barry J., ...

The Neovolcanic axis (NVA) traverses Mexico at the 19th parallel and is considered to be a geographic barrier to many species. We have demonstrated that the intersection of the NVA with the coast in...

Recent Rapid Rise of a Permethrin Knock Down Resistance Allele in Aedes aegypti in México

García, Gustavo Ponce, Flores, Adriana E., Fernández-Salas, Ildefonso, Saavedra-Rodríguez, Karla, Reyes-Solis, Guadalupe, Lozano-Fuentes, Saul, ...

Pyrethroid insecticides prolong the opening of voltage-dependent sodium channels in insect nerves to produce instant paralysis and “knock-down.” Many insects have evolved knock-down resistance...
