CHARACTERIZATION OF A STRAIN OF PEPINO MOSAIC VIRUS FOUND IN SICILY
2006
During winter 2005, an unusual virus-like yellow leaf disorder associated to interveinal leaf yellowing and marbling on fruits, was observed in some greenhouse tomato crops in Sicily, exactly in province of Ragusa. Two leaves from 250 symptomatic tomato plants were serologically tested by DAS-ELISA technique using the sera to Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV), Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV). Of the 250 samples tested, 215 were positive to PepMV presence. This virus was mechanically transmitted to Cucumis sativus “Cubit”, Datura metel, Nicotiana benthamiana and tomato “Rio Grande”. The host range of…

Histomorphology of healthy oral mucosa in untreated celiac patients: unexpected association with spongiosis.
2009
BACKGROUND: The jejunal mucosa is the major site involved in celiac disease, but modifications have also been found in the gastric, rectal and esophageal mucosa. Few studies have focused on the histomorphological features of the oral mucosa in celiac disease patients. Our objectives were: (i) to assess the presence, quality and intensity of lymphocytic infiltrate in clinically healthy oral mucosa and its relation to celiac disease severity (villous height to crypt depth ratio); and (ii) to detect any other histological features connected to celiac disease. METHODS: Twenty-one untreated celiac disease patients (age range 13-68 years) with clinically healthy oral mucosa were enrolled and comp…
