| tick-borne encephalitis virus diversity in ixodid ticks and small mammals in south-western siberia, russia. | the persistence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (tbev) in nature is maintained by numerous species of reservoir hosts, multiple transmissions between vertebrates and invertebrates, and the virus adaptation to its hosts. our aim: was to compare tbev isolates from ticks and small wild mammals to estimate their roles in the circulation of the viral subtypes. | 2016 | 27303915 |
| isolation of tick-borne encephalitis virus from wild rodents and a seroepizootiologic survey in hokkaido, japan. | to determine the vertebrate host of tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) virus in the southern part of hokkaido, japan, virus isolation was performed using spleens from small mammals captured in the area. two virus strains were isolated, one strain from apodemus speciosus and another from clethrionomys rufocanus. virus isolates were inoculated onto baby hamster kidney cell monolayers and antigen slides were prepared for an indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay. two isolates were identified as tbe v ... | 1999 | 10072153 |
| experimental characteristics of viraemia caused by two strains of tick-borne encephalitis virus in small rodents. | two strains of tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) virus differing in virulence for subcutaneously (s.x.) inoculated adult white mice elicited different levels of viraemia in small rodents. strain skalica of a lowered virulence caused no detectable viraemia in adult clethrionomys glareolus and only negligible viraemia in adult apodemus sylvaticus, microtus arvalis and pitymys subterraneus species. the virulent strain 204 gave rise to higher levels of viraemia, sufficient for infection of tbe virus vec ... | 1981 | 6116416 |
