| detection of two highly diverse peribunyaviruses in mosquitoes from palenque, mexico. | the peribunyaviridae family contains the genera orthobunyavirus, herbevirus, pacuvirus, and shangavirus. orthobunyaviruses and pacuviruses are mainly transmitted by blood-feeding insects and infect a variety of vertebrates whereas herbeviruses and shangaviruses have a host range restricted to insects. here, we tested mosquitoes from a tropical rainforest in mexico for infections with peribunyaviruses. we identified and characterized two previously unknown viruses, designated baakal virus (bkav) ... | 2019 | 31500304 |
| genetic and phylogenetic characterization of tataguine and witwatersrand viruses and other orthobunyaviruses of the anopheles a, capim, guamá, koongol, mapputta, tete, and turlock serogroups. | the family bunyaviridae has more than 530 members that are distributed among five genera or remain to be classified. the genus orthobunyavirus is the most diverse bunyaviral genus with more than 220 viruses that have been assigned to more than 18 serogroups based on serological cross-reactions and limited molecular-biological characterization. sequence information for all three orthobunyaviral genome segments is only available for viruses belonging to the bunyamwera, bwamba/pongola, california e ... | 2015 | 26610546 |
