genotypic varieties of la crosse virus isolated from different geographic regions of the continental united states and evidence for a naturally occurring intertypic recombinant la crosse virus. | the tripartite ribonucleic acid (rna) genomes of 23 alternate isolates of la crosse virus have been analyzed by the procedure of oligonucleotide fingerprinting. by comparison with the fingerprints of the three viral rna species (large, medium and small) of prototype la crosse virus, the viruses have been categorized in terms of the degree of their rna sequence relatedness. the a type la crosse viruses, which have been recovered from wisconsin, minnesota, indiana and ohio, have viral rna sequence ... | 1981 | 7246519 |
