The identification of biologically important secondary structures in disease-causing RNA viruses
Tanov, Emil Pavlov (University of the Western Cape, 2012)Viral genomes consist of either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The viral RNA molecules are responsible for two functions, firstly, their sequences contain the genetic code, which encodes the viral ... -

The molecular evolution and epidemiology of Rubella virus
Cloete, Leendert J. (University of the Western Cape, 2014)Despite widespread rubella virus (RV) vaccination programs, annually RV still causes severe congenital defects in an estimated 100,000 children globally. A concerted attempt to eradicate RV is currently underway and ... -
The phylogeography, epidemiology and determinants of Maize streak virus dispersal across Africa and the adjacent Indian Ocean Islands
Madzokere, Eugene T. (University of the Western Cape, 2015)Maize streak disease (MSD), caused by variants of the Maize streak virus (MSV) A strain, is the world's third and Africa’s most important maize foliar disease. Outbreaks of the disease occur frequently and in an erratic ... -
Studies on the population genetics of Euphausiids: a comparison of patterns in plagic taxa displaying different distributions and life-histories
Harkins, Gordon W. (University of the Western Cape, 2006)The systematic and population genetic relationships were characterised for three ecologically related euphausiid species: Euphausia lucens, E. recurva and E. vallentini. These species have different geographical distributions ...
