| essaouira and kala iris: two new orbiviruses of the kemerovo serogroup, chenuda complex, isolated from ornithodoros (alectorobius) maritimus ticks in morocco. | essaouira and kala iris viruses were isolated from ornithodoros (alectorobius) maritimus ticks parasitizing yellow-legged gulls (larus cachinnans) on the coast of morocco in 1979 and 1981, respectively. serological evidence indicates that these two viruses are new members of the chenuda complex within the kemerovo serogroup of the genus orbivirus. ecological, pathological, morphological, and physicochemical properties are compatible with these findings. the infectivity of these viruses for man a ... | 1993 | 8010186 |
| genetic characterization of the tick-borne orbiviruses. | the international committee for taxonomy of viruses (ictv) recognizes four species of tick-borne orbiviruses (tbos): chenuda virus, chobar gorge virus, wad medani virus and great island virus (genus orbivirus, family reoviridae). nucleotide (nt) and amino acid (aa) sequence comparisons provide a basis for orbivirus detection and classification, however full genome sequence data were only available for the great island virus species. we report representative genome-sequences for the three other t ... | 2015 | 25928203 |
