Abstract:
Strains of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV-Jasper) obtained from two different laboratories were compared serologically with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. Nucleotide sequence and restriction endonuclease patterns of 359-bp fragment of genome segment A cDNA were also compared. Substantial differences were found in both analyses that will support the fact that the two Jasper strains are not identical.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
