[pathogenic properties of the leiv23 astrakhan strain of batai virus for primates]. | pathogenic properties of batai virus, leiv23 astrakhañ strain, isolated from aedes vexans mosquitoes in astrakhañ region were studied comparatively. the degree of susceptibility to the virus of green monkeys and rodents (white mice, syrian hamsters), and the pattern of lesions produced by the virus in organs of these animals were established. the virus was shown to have a comparatively wide host range affecting phylogenetically far distant animals. monkeys were found to have virus-carrier state ... | 1983 | 6230800 |
[circulation of west nile virus (flaviviridae, flavivirus) and some other arboviruses in the ecosystems of volga delta, volga-akhtuba flood-lands and adjoining arid regions (2000-2002)]. | comprehensive virological, serological as well as genetic studies of the ecology of west nile virus (wnv) as well as of some other arboviruses were undertaken in different ecosystems in the territories of the astrakhan region and of the kalmyk republic. the main carriers (mosquitoes, ticks, birds and mammals) were defined as involved in the circulation of viruses within the natural and anthropogenic biocenosis. phylogenetic examinations of isolated strains and samples, which were positive in rt- ... | 2004 | 15188655 |
