| Umatilla virus genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis: identification of stretch lagoon orbivirus as a new member of the Umatilla virus species. | The genus Orbivirus, family Reoviridae, includes 22 species of viruses with genomes composed of ten segments of linear dsRNA that are transmitted between their vertebrate hosts by insects or ticks, or with no identified vectors. Full-genome sequence data are available for representative isolates of the insect borne mammalian orbiviruses (including bluetongue virus), as well as a tick borne avian orbivirus (Great Island virus). However, no sequence data are as yet available for the mosquito borne ... | 2011 | 21897849 |
| first isolation and characterization of a mosquito-borne orbivirus belonging to the species umatilla virus in east asia. | an orbivirus was isolated from a sample from the ornithophilic mosquito culex sasai in japan. the virus, designated koyama hill virus (khv), replicated to high titer in a mosquito cell line and to a low titer in an avian cell line, but the release of progeny viruses was not observed in mammalian cell lines inoculated with khv. electron microscopic examination of khv-infected mosquito cells showed approximately 70-nm virus particles and viral tubules typical of members of the genus orbivirus, fam ... | 2014 | 24906523 |
