| borrelia sinica sp. nov., a lyme disease-related borrelia species isolated in china. | a survey was performed for lyme disease borrelia in the southern part of china, in zhejiang, sichuan and anhui provinces, along the yangtze river valley, in may of 1997 and 1998. twenty isolates from ixodes granulatus, ixodes ovatus, apodemus agrarius and niviventer confucianus were obtained. these isolates were characterized by rflp of the 5s-23s rdna intergenic spacer, sequence analysis of the intergenic spacer, 16s rdna and flagellin gene, dna-dna hybridization analysis, sds-page and western ... | 2001 | 11594614 |
| genetic analysis of a hantavirus strain carried by niviventer confucianus in yunnan province, china. | hantavirus genome sequences were recovered from lung tissues of chinese white-bellied rats (niviventer confucianus) captured in yunnan province, china. pairwise comparison of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the entire s and partial m and l segments indicated that the newly discovered virus strain, which was designated as strain yn509, was very different from other rodent-borne hantaviruses. phylogenetic analysis showed that the new strain fit into a clade containing da bie sha ... | 2010 | 20600393 |
