Effects of serial passaging of field isolates of Bangladeshi PPR virus in Vero cells on the fusion protein.
Article in Irish veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesFusion (F) protein is crucial for facilitating viral entry into host cells and contributes to the virulence of Morbilliviruses. Serial passaging of the Peste Des Petits Ruminants virus (PPRV) in nonnative hosts can lead to mutations that potentially reduce pathogenicity. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effects of serial passaging of a Bangladeshi strain of PPR virus in Vero cells on the Fusion protein and pathogenicity MATERIALS AND
methodsPPR viruses were initially isolated from natural PPR outbreaks, confirmed through reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT‒PCR), passaged to the 9th passage in Vero cells, sequenced, and preserved in a previous study. The 9th passage virus from the repository was utilized as the viral inoculant for further passaging in Vero cells, and the 60th passage was completed. The presence of PPR viral RNA was confirmed in tissue culture fluid (TCF) by RT‒PCR at different passage numbers. TCF at the 60th passage was sequenced and used for immunogenicity studies via live animal experiments, and subsequent immunity was measured via cELISA.
resultsComparative analysis of the sequences from the 9th and 60th passages, along with other sequences, revealed substitutions of 14 nucleotides (nts) and 4 amino acids (aa) within the leucine zipper structure of the fusion protein. Notably, live animal experiments demonstrated the occurrence of protective immunity.
conclusionThis study suggests that amino acid substitution and genetic divergence may positively affect viral virulence, highlighting their importance in the development of a potent vaccine.
