ANALYSIS OF GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF INFLUENZA VIRUS A/CHICKEN/CHELYABINSK/30/2019 H9N2 ISOLATED IN CHELYABINSK OBLAST by N. G. Zinyakov, Щю S. Osipova, P. B. Akshalova, V. Yu. Sosipatorova, A. V. Andriyasov, D. B. Andreychuk, I. A. Chvala

“…Sequencing of the hemagglutinin gene segment revealed that the amino acid sequence at the cleavage site was RSSR/GLF, which is characteristic of a low virulent avian infl uenza virus. Phylogenetic analysis of the obtained nucleotide sequences of the hemagglutinin gene fragment (1–1539 bp open reading frame) showed that the A/chicken/Chelyabinsk/30/2019 H9N2 isolate belongs to the G1 genetic group of the low virulent infl uenza virus A/H9, the representatives of which are widely spread in the Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries. …”

Does the COVID-19 XBB Omicron subvariant signal the beginning of the end of the pandemic? by Jinghao Nicholas Ngiam, Abdurrahmaan Al-Mubaarak, Sebastian Maurer-Stroh, Paul Anantharajah Tambyah

“…All pandemic viruses have eventually adapted to human hosts so that they become more transmissible and less virulent. The XBB Omicron subvariant is rapidly becoming the dominant strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Singapore from October 2022 and is one of several variants circulating globally with the potential to dominate autumn/winter waves in different countries. …”

Biscogniauxia (Hypoxylon) Canker or Dieback in Trees by Claudia Paez, Jason A. Smith

“…Typically, species of Biscogniauxia are opportunistic pathogens that do not affect healthy and vigorous trees; some species are more virulent than others. However, once they infect trees under stress (water stress, root disease, soil compaction, construction damage etc.) they can quickly colonize the host. …”
