peaton virus: a new simbu group arbovirus isolated from cattle and culicoides brevitarsis in australia.	a new member of the simbu group of arboviruses, for which the name peaton virus is proposed, has been isolated from midges and cattle in australia. nine isolates were obtained from 101 pools of the biting midge culicoides brevitarsis collected at peachester, qld, (26.51 degrees s., 152.53 degrees e.) between 30 november and 8 december 1976. three isolations of the same virus were made from the blood of sentinel cattle collected at grafton and tamworth, n.s.w., on 20 january and 13 april 1977, re ...	1980	7436869
antigenic and genetic comparisons of japanese and australian simbu serogroup viruses: evidence for the recovery of natural virus reassortants.	the antigenicity and rna genome structures of five simbu serogroup bunyaviruses isolated in japan and australia were analyzed using monoclonal antibodies (mabs) raised to akabane (aka) virus and oligonucleotide fingerprinting. the virion surface glycoprotein (g1) and the nucleocapsid (n) protein of heterologous viruses showed no reactivity to the mabs, while the aka-derived anti-g1 mab (2f1) reacted with peaton virus and all three aka anti-n mabs reacted with tinaroo (tin) virus at almost the sa ...	1997	9282785
serological and genetic characterization of newly isolated peaton virus in japan. brief report.	the viruses were isolated from the blood of sentinel cattle and culicoides biting midges in the kyushu district, southwestern japan, in 1999 and identified by neutralization tests as peaton (pea) viruses. before this study, pea virus had been isolated in australia only. the nucleotide identity of the nucleocapsid (n) protein encoded by the s segment ranged from 91.1 to 91.6% between the australian and japanese strains. a phylogenetic analysis of the n protein sequence revealed that the pea virus ...	2002	11890531
sequence analysis of the medium rna segment of three simbu serogroup viruses, akabane, aino, and peaton viruses.	the sequence analysis was carried out for the medium (m) rna segment of the akabane virus (akav), aino virus (ainv), and peaton virus (peav) of the simbu serogroup of the genus orthobunyavirus of the family bunyaviridae. the complementary sequences of the m rna segments of akav, ainv, and peav contain a single large open reading frame (orf), like other orthobunyaviruses. the orfs potentially encode 1401 amino acids (aa), 1404 aa, and 1400 aa polypeptides, respectively. the identity of the m segm ...	2003	12727343
simultaneous detection of bovine arboviruses using single-tube multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.	single-tube multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (mrt-pcr) assay was developed to detect and identify arboviruses in infected cell-culture fluids and field specimens. the technique was equally sensitive for detecting five different viruses in cell cultures, namely the chuzan, ibaraki, and bluetongue viruses belonging to orbivirus, and the akabane virus and peaton virus belonging to orthobunyavirus, and was less sensitive than former viruses for detecting aino virus belonging ...	2004	15234812
molecular epidemiological analyses of the teratogenic aino virus based on the sequences of a small rna segment.	the sequences of a small rna segment of aino virus isolates were analyzed to define the molecular epidemiology and genetic relationships to other species in the genus orthobunyavirus in the family bunyaviridae. the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the segment were highly conserved among strains isolated from 1964 to 2002 in japan. these japanese isolates were segregated into two distinct lineages, one containing the prototype strain janar28 isolated in 1964 and the other containing strains ...	2008	18077110
genetic characterization of aino and peaton virus field isolates reveals a genetic reassortment between these viruses in nature.	sequence determination and phylogenetic analysis were conducted using the s, m and l rna segments of the 10 aino, 6 peaton and 1 sango virus (ainov, peav and sanv) field isolates of the genus orthobunyavirus in the family bunyaviridae, respectively. the japanese ainov strains were genetically stable, but the sequence differences between the japanese and australian ainov strains were considerably larger than those among the japanese ainov strains. a similar result was found in the genetic relatio ...	2010	20600386
enhanced arbovirus surveillance with deep sequencing: identification of novel rhabdoviruses and bunyaviruses in australian mosquitoes.	viral metagenomics characterizes known and identifies unknown viruses based on sequence similarities to any previously sequenced viral genomes. a metagenomics approach was used to identify virus sequences in australian mosquitoes causing cytopathic effects in inoculated mammalian cell cultures. sequence comparisons revealed strains of liao ning virus (reovirus, seadornavirus), previously detected only in china, livestock-infecting stretch lagoon virus (reovirus, orbivirus), two novel dimarhabdov ...	2013	24314645
bovine arboviruses in culicoides biting midges and sentinel cattle in southern japan from 2003 to 2013.	epizootic congenital abnormalities, encephalomyelitis and febrile illnesses in cattle caused by arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are prevalent in japan. causative viruses including orthobunyaviruses, orbiviruses and rhabdovirus are thought to be transmitted by culicoides biting midges. recently, the incursions of several arboviruses, potentially culicoides-borne, were newly confirmed in japan. however, their spread pattern and exact vector species are currently uncertain. attempts to isolat ...	2016	25597441
a large-scale serological survey of akabane virus infection in cattle, yak, sheep and goats in china.	akabane virus (akav) is a member of the simbu serogroup, classified in the genus orthobunyavirus, family bunyaviridae. akav infection can cause abortion, stillbirth, and congenital arthrogryposis and hydranencephaly in cattle and sheep. the distribution and prevalence of akav infection in china is still unknown. a total of 2731 sera collected from 2006 to 2015 in 24 provinces of china from cattle, sheep, goats and yak were examined by serum neutralisation test. the overall seroprevalence rates f ...	2017	28757043
