Grundlagen der #Pflanzenpathologie. Heute: das #Weizenverzwergungsvirus (WDV). (Auf Anregung von @Fischblog versuchen wir uns mal in einer neuen Twitterkategorie: JKI-Basics) 📜 (1/9) 
Übertragen wird WDV von der #Wandersandzirpe (Psammotettix alienus), einer #Zwergzikade, die in fast ganz Europa verbreitet ist. Sticht sie das #Phloem einer Pflanze an, um Saft zu saugen, dringt das Virus mit dem Speichel in die Pflanze ein. (2/9)
Die Infektion äußert sich durch eine gestreifte Einfärbung der Blätter, Chlorose (Bleichsucht, häufig Gelbfärbung der Blätter), verringerte Zahl an Ähren, reduzierte Winterfestigkeit und das Absterben von Pflanzen in frühen Entwicklungsstadien. (3/9)
1. The mysterious case of Eddie Holmes and the SARS-COV-2 genome sequence publication delay
Seems that Eddie was playing the "innocent card"

2. Was the motive of Virological.org’s rush release due to competition to get the first releaser credit for the sars-cov-2 genome?
3. @GISAID claims 'the access credentials of some of the persons listed as authors of Wuhan-hu-1 were among the access credentials used on January 10, 2020 to access the first genomes available on GISAID'

#UnAnnoFa il #genoma di "un #coronavirus" ricavato da un caso relativo al "focolaio di malattie respiratorie di #Wuhan" veniva pubblicato su #GenBank... 🧐#SARSCoV2
#UnAnnoFa... "Il focolaio di infezioni ha indotto timori di una potenziale epidemia dopo che la Cina ha dichiarato che il virus che lo ha causato è sconosciuto, ma proveniente dalla stessa famiglia di virus che ha causato le epidemie di #SARS e #MERS".🧐

#OneYearAgo a "coronavirus #genome from a case of a respiratory disease from the #Wuhan outbreak" was published on #GenBank... 🧐#SARSCoV2
#OneYearAgo "The cluster of infections had raised fears of a potential epidemic after China said last week that the virus causing it was a previously unknown type but came from the same family of viruses that caused the #SARS and #MERS epidemics".🧐

In this study, we have developed a fast and cost-effective method
for reverse genetics of coronaviruses by combining two approaches developed by others..As the genomes can be divided into multiple short fragments, mutations can be introduced into individual
fragments easily.

If anyone wants to investigate for themselves, here are all of the similar sequences to #SARSCoV2, #SARSCoV1, and #DISEASEXXX, a dog coronavirus. Note that #MERSCoV is ~64% similar to SARS-COV-2 and SARS-CoV2 is 80% similar to SARS-CoV-1.
These were download from @NIH #GenBank.

As a scientist, I'd like to note that it's impossible to study a bat coronavirus for 7 years within a research lab where they were known to recombine different viral fragments, and not end up having evolution happen that perhaps wouldn't have happened in the wild. Just saying.
Recombining viruses, you say? Wuhan, 2017.
