| yunnan orbivirus, a new orbivirus species isolated from culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes in china. | an orbivirus designated yunnan orbivirus (yuov) was isolated from culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes collected in the yunnan province of china. electron microscopy showed particles with typical orbivirus morphology. the yuov genome was sequenced completely and compared with previously characterized orbivirus genomes. significant identity scores were detected between proteins encoded by the segments (seg-1 to seg-10) of yuov and those encoded by their homologues in insect-borne and tick-borne orb ... | 2005 | 16298988 |
| the efficacy of different mosquito trapping methods in a forest-fringe village, yunnan province, southern china. | despite a control program, malaria incidence in yunnan has increased and knowledge of vector bionomics is needed for efficient control. multi-drug resistant plasmodium falciparum necessitates alternatives to human landing catches as a means of studying vectors. therefore cdc light traps with uv or ordinary incandescent bulbs were tested for 57 trap nights. 2,703 mosquitos were caught, including the vector species an. minimus and an. sinensis and the suspected vector an. maculatus. larval an. dir ... | 2001 | 11556577 |
| [the first report of kadipiro virus isolation in china]. | 5 strains of virus isolated from culex tritaeniorhynchus, anopheles sinensis and armigeres subalbatus, which caused cytopathic effect in c6/36 cells, had been obtained in the survey of arboviruses in northwestern yunnan province. china. the virus particles displayed 70 nanometers diameter (n=7) with no envelope but spikes on the surfaces. rna-page of the genomes of the isolates showed 6-5-1 profile. a fragment of the 12th segment sequence was amplified by a pair of specific primers for kadipiro ... | 2009 | 19634758 |
| distribution of arboviruses and mosquitoes in northwestern yunnan province, china. | from july to september in 2005 and 2006, a survey was conducted to identify mosquito species and mosquito-borne arboviruses at elevations ranging from 900-3280 m between 24 degrees 00' n and 29 degrees 00' n latitude in the northwestern part of yunnan province, china. a total of 54,879 mosquitoes representing 15 species and 4 genera was collected using uv light traps at 59 sites. culex tritaeniorhynchus and anopheles sinensis were the most abundant species. the density of mosquitoes as well as t ... | 2009 | 19196130 |
