Intracellular development of choleraphage phi 149 under permissive and nonpermissive conditions: an electron microscopic study.

Intracellular development of choleraphage phi 149 following infection of Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio eltor cells under different conditions was examined by thin-section electron microscopy. Degradation of the host DNA following infection and formation of mature phage particles inside the infected cells were demonstrated. The concatemeric DNA intermediate formed during intracellular replication of phi 149 DNA in permissive hosts was resolved. In confirmation of biochemical evidence, no concatemeric DNA intermediate was observed for infection in high-phosphate medium.

A study on the impact of awareness programme imparted to in-service nursing staff on their knowledge regarding AIDS.

One hundred five In-service nursing personnel of West Bengal Health Service, who completed a two day's orientation training programme on AIDS were subjected to Pre and Post-training assessment of their knowledge relating to AIDS by the same written questionnaire. Significant improvement in percentage of subjects (from 7.6% pre-training to 51.4% post-training) with desirable level of awareness and knowledge could be achieved by the programme. The importance of inclusion of study of AIDS in the pre- qualification curriculum and continuing education for nursing personnel is stressed.
